only one (1) ribbon, but, 2 devices: showing 3 times awarded:
I have not seen 2 of the same ribbons worn at same time, on any Class A uniform.

Yes. The Viet Namese Presidential Unit Citation is the Viet Namese Cross of Gallantry Ribbon with a gold laurel leaf frame and a bronze leaf device. The Viet Namese Cross of Gallantry, a personal award, uses the same ribbon but with no frame and a silver, or gold star or a bronze or gold leaf device to indicate what level (regiment, division, corps or army) made the award. Both these awards were commonly awarded to U.S. units and personnel. I wore both on my Marine uniform since 1968, in accordance with the Navy/Marine Corps Awards Manual.
Unit awards using a personal decoration ribbon but with frame and the use of different devices to indicate the level of award is common in France and its former colonies. Of note the Viet Namese Cross of Gallantry ribbon is a clone of the French Quoix de Guerrero ribbon.
