I was confused at first by Alert Line's choice of colour, but Osprey books and films are not always completely accurate. It took a lot of digging to find reference to the "unique" blue tabs used by NKVD Internal troops on the M43 greatcoats and overcoats.

M43 UNIFORMS - COATS
There are three types of coats used by NKVD/NKGB personnel; greatcoats, overcoats, and leather coats. Greatcoats are winter coats made of heavy grey wool felt. Overcoats are spring/summer/fall coats made of light grey wool gabardine. Both greatcoats and overcoats have rank insignia. They use brass buttons, standard gold service boards, and special collar tabs. The collar tabs are royal blue with sky blue piping and have a large brass button in the upper portion. Leather coats are extremely rare and may or may not be official NKVD issue. They have no insignia.
The photos on that site are no longer visible, but a caption to one reads:
An M43 NKVD State Security Major's overcoat. This spring-fall overcoat is made of grey gabardine wool as opposed to the heavy wool felt of the winter overcoats. It is silk lined. Note the unique royal blue with sky blue piping collar tabs and gold and royal blue service boards. The overcoat is a rare item which was not issued to all officers.
I found this photo of an NKVD colonel's greatcoat elsewhere:
I don't know why they made this change to the M43 coat, but the document also makes a reference to an issue with M43 parade kitel tunic, where some have blue collar tabs, while others have maroon collar tabs.
The difference between the royal blue and maroon collar tabs on state security parade tunics is not known for sure. Royal blue may have been used for the NKGB while maroon may have been used by the NKVD although that is unconfirmed.
It is possible, therefore, that both maroon and blue tabs may have been used on NKVD greatcoats and overcoats.
The differences may relate to the confusing state of affairs in re-organisation in 1943:
The 1943 to 1953 period is one of the most confusing for state security structure and duties. In April 1943 the NKVD's Chief Directorate for State Security, the GUGB, was split from the NKVD and transformed into a separate People's Commissariat, the NKGB. While NKVD-GUGB uniforms had differed slightly from other NKVD uniforms during the 1935 to 1942 period (see previous web page) much confusion exists over how, if at all, NKGB uniforms differed from NKVD uniforms during the 1943-1945 period...
