You are unnecessarily making your life hard. There is a big red warning at the top of the "Use Cases" page, simply take it seriously (the content of that page was written in 2012 a rather long time ago and before any of the guidelines existed). The current relevant guidelines are available from

It would seem to be "rather" unlikely that such reference ids would be named UPRN and UPSN outside of the UK to start with, so a more generic building_ref, street_ref or similar would be likely more sensible (if there is any value at all in mapping these). And yes similar concepts exist outside of

Just for the record: Enforcing attribution for services that you are providing directly (aka tiles in some form) only has a small overlap with the goals of the attribution guideline, and the avenues open to you depend on your ToUs / contracts with your users and the legal situation in the
