This are lichniye znaki (sg. lichnyi znak) - they are not really dog tags, altough they were a kind of personal identificators (I don't really know what they are, but I know that they are often mistaken for dog tags and that is wrong). Such items existed even in the imperial times, and you may find "nomier lichnogo znaka" position in army service booklet (krasnoarmieyskaya knizhka).
Also note that those are widely faked both in the former SU and in Poland.
I am no expert at them, so I cannot tell about these particular ones.
