This identity disc came with a Burma Star group issued by the Rhodesian authorities but is clearly later than WW2 vintage. It appears to be of the type issued to American military personnel except that the details do not appear to follow the American format, i.e. surname, first name, service number, blood group, religion.

I am not sure what format is used on British identity discs but the eight figure service number starts with a 0 and has a post nominal E.

Do British dog tags give the service number before the name?

Here are the details:

05050828E
G P Thompson
FC BLGP O RH-

Could it be Rhodesian?

Any thoughts would be welcome.
