I think you'd be advised to call this base 'plaques' rather than 'blueplaques', as they're not all blue...

Hah, good point - I've done that now.

You might also want to explain what it's about as well, since it is very culture/country-specific.

Yes. I believe you have "Historical markers" in the US?

Around here (New Hampshire) historical markers are cast metal roadside signs on a signpost. They may commemorate a building, but it also could be an event or a natural formation or the site of a former building or just about anything. Here's a list for the state http://www.nh.gov/nhdhr/markers/chronological.php
The most common thing on a building is just a sign with the year it was built, although you occasionally get plaques with about the same content as a blue plaque. I don't think there's any standard format though.
There's no standard signage associated with the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, as far as I know.
