That's a very good point. I suspect that I mis-remembered the use of crossing_ref=* (used with highway=crossing + crossing=*) as just "ref".
brand=legible_london seems a much better fit, particularly as it makes it seem less of an assertion about the actual legibility of the map (as noted in an earlier comment).
Perhaps also operator=* for the borough responsible, or TfL as appropriate?

I would only use the ref= tag if there is a reference code for each
installation, e.g. if the totem has a displayed reference like "A01"
designed for users to see. From the pictures I don't think that they
do, and if they did, I would expect it to be a reference for internal
use - i.e. official_ref=
Think of it like bus stops (ref=C) or road numbers (ref=A204). Would
it make sense if I was to render a map with an icon for the
information point, with the reference shown underneath?
I would suggest brand=legible_london as an alternative, but there
might be other options too.
Thanks,
Andy
