...ouch.
There's an explicit mention of dogtags made in a GSM leve, with regards to Wood Wailers receiving not tags but rings with their names and posts inscribed on the inside.

"With so many new faces among the Wailers every day, we fear that time may come when we know not who it is among us that has fallen in service of the commonfolk. If every Wailer were given a ring, on the inside of which is inscribed his name and whence he hails, it would ease our fears."
Since every GC has GC gear that includes a variety of rings, some of which seem specific to certain roles (I.F. have "Flamecarrier's Ring," for instance), I'd say that jewelry take the place of dog tags in the XIV setting.
