About the format
Art. 3 §1 does two things and only two: it fixes the COLOURS ("un numero dont les lettres et les chiffres sont peintes en couleur blanche sur fond noir") and it names the issuing authority ("Les numeros d'immatriculation des vehicules de l'Armee sont attribues par le Commandant de l'Armee"). Digit count, letters, ranges: absent from the instrument.
