Since I’m not a moderator, I can’t check in on where information might have come from because, obviously, you don’t want to call attention to the images in question. But, as someone who frequently tags images, here are some general guesses:
- the file name of the image could have indicated the source, for example, if it’s from deviantArt or sta.sh it might have that account name, or a unique identifier that can be used to navigate to where it was posted
- likewise if it was posted anywhere else, an image search such as via Google might find it
- if it had previously been posted to Derpibooru with information associated with it, it could have been searched for or merged
- if it has a recognizable art style, or a signature you forgot about
