About this plate
THE TRANSIT PLATE FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT A CAR, motorcycles, mopeds, tractors, self-propelled machines and their trailers. The 420 x 113 blank is unique to this type in the whole instrument. Its charset is the tightest Estonia publishes: A, M and W are each separately forbidden, so the strict twin is a genuine and fully sourced narrowing rather than a stylistic one.
Separators
a hyphen is printed and dimensioned, as on D1; näidis 15 draws 'ED-234' with a 122 mm letter field and a 153 mm digit field on the 420 mm blank
