Or is the photo reversed?

Medals are usually only worn on the right when you are wearing the medals won by a member of your family who is no longer around.

Men usually also have the left side of their jacket overlapping the right side so I think it was really reversed

Nope - he was in a foreign navy(not American) in the early part of this century. I have to say, until I sourced these pics, I had no idea what a handsome devil he was in real life.

He looks like a girl in that first pic, but not in the second

Gasp! There is plenty of evidence that he was about as manly as they come.

If it helps, the service he was in no longer exists.

Nope. He's not a native English speaker. And them's all the clues you're going to get

Nope. He's not German. And he's probably the most famous person from his particular service.

That is he. Well done. Apparently all his money came from his first wife who was the grand-daughter of the chap who invented the torpedo.
