On another forum (link here) this type is attributed to Polish forces. There are images with a dated tag seemingly from 1907 and a photograph of a Polish solder in Scotland in 1940 wearing the same design of tag.
Edit - there is nice image of one with a Monte Cassino Medal Group (which I have attached)

Disc was used by other countries but probably originated in France.
France "a new pattern disc was introduced in May 1918 and officially authorized on 12th July 1918. This Mle.1918 took in the advantages of the German 1916 pattern disc in that it had a perforated line so that one part could be removed for records, leaving the remainder to identify the corpse, but only utilising one disc."

"the obverse would be stamped with the soldier's surname and first name along with his “class” year (ie.the year in which he became eligible for compulsory military service) "
