About this plate
PROVISORISCHE ZULASSUNG, provisional registration under VVV Art. 19. The spec lives in the INSURANCE ordinance, not the admission ordinance: VZV Art. 71 Abs. 2 Bst. a merely points at "Art. 19 VVV", and the physical description is in VVV Anhang 1a.
Separators
The distinguishing mark is a raised vertical RED BAR after the number, not a character, it cannot appear in the serial and does not appear in the pattern. The plate string alone is indistinguishable from an ordinary registration.
