Man, when my CHP buddy talked me into becoming a cop, they were in the 9000 series badge numbers.

Using a printed tape strip (or even older Dymo labeling) became a not uncommon practice for identifying individual LE magazines.

The problem could come when the cop applying the tape/labeling didn't realize he/she still had to allow for the "hole" to be punched so mags that used buttplates and buttplate catches (with posts) could be disassembled for cleaning, as needed.
