It appears that using PlotLegend somehow overrides the Display->Identity.  Maybe
some of the Mathematica gurus know a way around this.  But I did stumble upon a
way that is probably not the most elegant method.  Using graphics primitive
places something resembling a legend without displaying the plot.
It will need some work in your case, but might at least be a starting point.

and in your case the exact placement of text will need some work.

In[1]:=
graphthing = 
{Plot[{Sin[t], Cos[t]}, {t, 0, 5},  PlotRange -> {{0, 5}, {-2, 2}},
PlotStyle\[Rule]{GrayLevel[0],Dashing[{.03}]},
DisplayFunction -> Identity ],
Graphics[{Line[{{3,2},{4,2}}],Text["Uno",{4.5,2}]}],
Graphics[{Dashing[{0.03}],Line[{{3,1},{4,1}}],Text["Dos",{4.5,1}]}]};
In[2]:=
Show[graphthing,DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction]
