About this plate
THE THINNEST-SOURCED SERIES IN THIS FILE and it is authored anyway, for two reasons: the two-letter-three-numeral shape is distinctive enough to be worth recognising, and RED lettering appears on no other Nova Scotia plate here, so a photograph is diagnostic even where a string is not.
