All essentially peacetime awards.

All of the pictured officers are veterans of the Korean War, and I believe also veterans of World War Two. Vice Marshal Cho was born in 1924 and Vice Marshal Kim in 1922, and the other three don't exactly look like spring chickens.
Still, most are post-Korean War awards. For example, the top two breast stars on Vice Marshal Kim, below his Gold Star Medal of the Hero of the Republic, are Orders of Kim Il Sung, which was established in 1972.
