About this plate
Three letters and three numerals ran from a reported 1975 on a yellow base and continued onto the white/red/blue base; the reported end is 2003, seven years before the reported ABC-1234 start, and NO SOURCE EXPLAINS THE GAP. "Wild Rose Country" is reported as the slogan from 1973, i.e. it spans both series and is not an era signal.
