I counted 2 without the CIB,2nd and 4th ones in from the end. Don't I can't make out enough details to verify any others that don't have it. Also noticed that the only one that can be seen to have overseas service bars is the one at the very end.

That is a very cool picture, I'm sure finding ones like that isn't easy. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Edited for clarification.

I saw that too but wondered if they got them? I guess anyone out there should have. So he too was a replacement.
