Curious as to why they would have their EKI's engraved? Would it be done so if the cross was to become lost the finder would know to whom the cross could be returne to?

Basically to commemorate a person or event. It's similar to how all sorts of jewelry can and is engraved - like a watch, a ring, etc.

That's right, like this unique piece of Zähringer Lion order, the center piece my engraved items.

Engraved 'Zum Andenken an Robert Lindenberg’, ’gefallen vor VERDUN 21.5.1916’'.
