This photo is dated on the back 8.1.44.
Note how the ribbon bar has the Russian Front ribbon first, followed by the EK2 ribbon, then the Romanian Anticommunist ribbon.
I suspect this soldier put on his awards for a studio photo and he got the 2-place ribbon bar on backwards; the Romanian ribbon bar looks to be a 1-place ribbon bar, separate from the first ribbon bar.
