About this plate
THE INDEPENDENCE-ERA SERIES, AND THE ONE RECORD IN THIS FILE WHOSE START IS NOT PRIMARY. Two PRIMARY facts bracket it without dating it: the standard is designated LVS 20-92, implying a 1992 edition, and the 20.09.1994 changeover regulation already treats the new Latvian plate as existing.
