About this plate
The only modern class whose band legend replaces the country name. Note a secondary caution recorded and not resolved: Wikipedia states the governorate letter-coding does not apply to army, police and diplomatic vehicles, which would mean the letters on this series are not geographic even to the partial extent described in header fact 5.
