I think they are meant to be the membership tokens of fallen members of each sindicate. Note how the 2nd tier of each is named after the third rank in the syndicate, and the third tier the final rank. I think they are a bit like dog-tags or membership tokens. Lay members of a syndicate get the basic version. Hence why the tier three ones are so rare, individuals of that tier are rarer and much harder to kill.

Also note that over the orbiter radio, one can sometimes hear Grineer border control arresting someone for having a red-veil symbol.
