old Ethiopian rank insignia

I wonder if there is any information out there on the old Imperial Ethiopian rank insignia (army, air force, and navy). I know that it may have resembled the British style and that the late Emperor Haile Selassie obviously held the rank of Field Marshal.
What about insignia from the communist Dergue era from 1974-1990?

old Ethiopian rank insignia

I have received from the Berliner Auktionshaus a picture of a so called Ethipopian Field Marshal, hhmm, looking strange, :? it is has three little silver imperial crowns on a twisted two cord shoulder piece, with 55 5 edge loops and two bottom loops, Haile Sealssie was a Fieldmarshal and wore insignia similart to the british ones... :?
