A ribbon sandwich should be stacked with two, usually, three layers of filling. These look to just be one filling per sandwich and cut in strips. Normally, you stack the layers, wrap in plastic and the refrigerate for 4 hours - no more than 24 - and slice before serving. The fillings may be delicious, but this is not what I would call a ribbon sandwich in the traditional sense.
