        Not "official military"

        Reading from RIGHT to left:

        Reverse top:
        體力章
        Physical Strength Medal

        Reverse bottom:
        二五九九年
        Year 2599 [1939]
        What looks like a Roman X is a stylized for 5.

          Your gift box up top most likely contained cigarettes (from the imperial family) at one time. See this thread:

                By the way, the badge was awarded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare. You can see its name on the lower left side of the envelope:
                厚生省
                Kōseishō

                And on yours, WehrmachtRSI, can be seen before the torn section; it is for the basic level:

                Shokyū
                First/Beginning level
