NCO or Officer?

It's easy to distinguish EM/OR headgear, namely the Schirmmützen, from their Officer counterparts mainly thanks to to the cockades.
However how do you distinguish a high ranking NCO Schirmmütze from that of an Officer when looking at its cockades?
What about the Schirmmützen that have an Officer style Reichs cockade and a regular (painted) EM/OR state cockade simultaneously? What do these tell us?
 
More questions :-k
How can one tell Private Purchase Schirmmützen from Issued?
And is it true that NCO's were allowed to have Officer cockades on their private purchase headgear (namely the Schirmmützen)?
