I'm not sure. I think the German ones come from the BAG for the Euro 6 windscreen stickers.
They would want your vehicles VIN number and I'd expect proof of ownership (V5). They then check with the truck manufacturer on what the Euro classification is.
The stickers allow you to drive into the German city low emission zones. City Autobahns and most major B roads are exempt from the low emissions regulations to allow transit.
French ones I think, you get from the control centres at the Mont Blanc or Frejus Tunnels. You will be carrying your vehicles V5 original copy, which has the emissions on it.
There is probably a fee attached for the issue of any of these stickers.

The L discs I think you can buy off the shelf at any big truckstop.
However, the L stands for Larmshutz-silence. It allows you to drive at 60kmh through Austria at night on the autobahn, instead of 30, but your vehicle has to be fitted with a particular make and model of tyre (there's a very limited range), have extra noise suppression around the engine and gearbox and some other none standard noise reduction equipment fitted. If it isn't correctly noise suppressed, the fines for abusing the system will be eye watering. Besides which, although you are allowed to drive faster, you are not allowed to overtake on most of the autobahn system at night, so you'll mostly be stuck in the line of trucks not fitted up for Larmschutz anyway.

I don't remember a G disc. Which country is it for and what does G stand for?

There is also A for Abfall-waste. It's a German thing but everyone in Europe hauling any type of waste has an A plate these days.

My boss deals with all of this kind of stuff for our trucks. We spend a lot of our time in Germany, France and Switzerland. That's why I don't know for certain.

The Windscreen sticker you can get at any Truck workshop/TÜV/Dekra costs 5€

The green sticker with 5 on it covers Euro 4,5,6 and D4 motors


The Green G means "Geraüscharm" (low noise) you dont see many now in Germany,modern Trucks already fill the required standard

Although not the one the OP was asking about, you can get the Green Emission sticker for the window of you vehicle from this website, https://www.tolltickets.com/en/country/products

As far as I remember the VI plate or V plate is something to do with running on international permits, and not required by vehicles registered in EU members states running in other EU states.

The large round disc with the Euro number you see in the windscreen, you get when you stop at the checkpoint as you head up to the Mont Blanc Tunnel, I've not been asked for my docs for many years when I've got a sticker for a new truck though, as there is no discount for lower emissions I suppose they'll only ask if you truck is likely to be to old to comply with Euro 3.
The dog, on the other hand, had all the papers in order and consequently must accompany his house across national borders.

As said, L is for the austrian network, certain routes are only open to "quiet trucks" 24/7. Salzburg-worgl, the scenic route missing the big german corner for example.

And for other routes you can only drive at night, 22:00-5:00, with a "L" plated truck.

No L plate means no night driving for a lot of motorways, soon to be all.

The euro class for the Blanc are free at the checkpoint

L low noise will require a hush kit to be fitted
