		In general, milutary badges are red (except for the highets classes) and bear the Oman arms in the center, while civil badges are are white (regardless of class) and have a crescent device in the center.

		Sultan Qaboos, however, habitually wears this medal (perhaps the Distinguished Service Medal, the only award of this medal?) as a part of his bar of medals, so his award might well be added to the one to Deputy Commissioner Cooper.
