I'm unaware of any custom made Affenjacke (double breasted), but for sure there were high quality and lighter weight versions of the Viertaschenrock (4 pockets) made by various tailors.
The badges were standard issue, as far as I know. Production never stopped, but they did switch wearing them on the right sleeve to the left. Someone else here probably knows the exact date, but IIRC it was around 1959. Originally only FJ and GJ had unit badges.
No idea about General's ranks at the time but I'm guessing they used the silver bullion "Handgestickte" type like all other officer ranks.
