For Doppelwellenbalg I have found "double concertinas", so my (far fetched and unsupported) guess would be "Double concertina brake disk".

double axle-mounted disc brake
I'm sure about the axle-mounted disc gbrake but they may prefer twin or dual to double.
I only have ordinary Wellenbremsscheibe in my official UIC glossary

| Brilliant, now I've found it in my UIC RailLexic too, silly me for not looking for it without the "Doppel"! |
2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thank you to all answerers! I'm pretty sure the brake disc is meant rather than the disc brake as a whle, hence only 2 points on this occasion."

double shaft brake disc
This brake disc (mounted on the shaft) is responsible to slow down the shaft rotational speed instead of the wheel itself.

It wasnt mentioned clearly there. However I have found it in the Rail lexicon too. CMJ's answer would be fine barring the disc brake part of it. "brake disc" sounds better.

| This is about trains, not cars. |
| Sounds better, but doesn't look it if you perform an image search for "axle-mounted brake disc" and "axle-mounted disc brake". The difference is astonishing! |
