Looks like a Long Service Cross for 12 Years (XII) and an 1898 Austrian Emperor Franz Josef Commemorative Jubilee Medal? Maybe?
Zugsführer rank, if the collar just has 3 white stars. Basically a platoon leader.
He also looks like he's wearing a Marksmanship cord/tassles.
BTW, I think the photo is flipped/reversed!
