Not really but here are some guesses:
Enemy alien incarcerated in a detention camp on the Isle of man for the duration of the war.
Working in Germany in 1939 and incarcerated by the Germans.
A foreign national (from a "friendly" country) working in this country who had their own ID eg passport.
I did wonder if in some branches of the armed force the paybook was accepted as ID.
I don't know - please tell.

It's the last of your suggestions. That's why his ID card is dated from when he was "demobbed".
I had an uncle where probably no 2 applied - except he wasn't incarcerated by the Germans.
You think anyone up to no good will have legit id? Didn't stop cross-border terrorism from Belgium, did it?

Good point. I'd forgotten that (for example) the perpetrators of the
9/11 atrocity all had valid ID.
Hey, that's not a bad idea!
