About this plate
CYCLOMOTEURS ET QUADRICYCLES LEGERS. A separate series and not a size variant, because the PRINTED grammar is genuinely different, four characters, not six. Art. 17 also records a legal subtlety worth keeping: for these vehicles the identity plate under the arrete grand-ducal of 23 November 1955 "tient lieu de plaque d'immatriculation", their registration record stands in for an immatriculation and their identity card for a registration card. They are, strictly, registered by a different mechanism that the plate rules are mapped onto.
About the format
FOUR DIGITS ARE ALLOCATED AND TWO ARE PRINTED. The Annexe, last paragraph: the numeric element for mopeds and light quadricycles runs 0010-0099 (0001-0099 after the 2006 amendment), "les deux premiers chiffres de ce numero n'etant toutefois pas repris sur la plaque d'immatriculation". So the register holds a six-character number and the plate shows four characters.
