## About this plate

THE DIPLOMATIC PLATE, and THE red plate, the one whose GROUND is red, as against the trade plate's red symbols and the transit plate's red field. The three-way {C, CC, CD} distinction is stated by the annex but its MEANING is not: no Latvian instrument reached says which of the three denotes a head of mission, a diplomat or a consular officer, and no mission-code decode is published. Recorded, not guessed. The foreground colour is an inference from contrast, not a quoted rule, the annex fixes the ground only.
