Altered WWI dogtags

These dogtags have had the PVT scratched off and Coporal scratched on them on the back under the serial number.Then an attempt was made to scratch the Corporal off.The camera wouldn't pick up the markings under the serial number,but you can see it with a magnifying glass.Was the a common practice when the soldiers rank changed?Is it a battlefield modification?

I've seen this done a number of times before, though some of the time they'll just xxxxx out the old rank or information. Those are a nice set of tags!
