I have small brass plaques made at a local trophy shop. It usually costs less than $5 per plaque. I have also made nice looking ones on my computer and then printed them off on heavy card stock and glue them onto the diorama base. Have also used rub on lettering on metal or plastic too.

Ditto, either go to a gift store or jewelry store, or here in the US there are stores that do trophies (as mentioned) that will do plaques.
Or
Break out the old computer and print some nice labels and stick them to some styrene.

I do the same as the other two.
