For the equivalent visa for Schengen countries (Spain in our case) the red ribbon copy is an absolute requirement.
No did not need that for UK spouse visa, but this may have been because my husband was working there in Philippines when we applied so applied while we were both in the Philippines prior to my husbands work contract finishing there. On ly requirement was a NSO copy. Seems strange to me while the UK accept that then just a short holiday visa don't accept it!
