About this plate
L'ETAT ET SES ADMINISTRATIONS. Visually identical to an ordinary plate, same yellow, same six characters, same band, and distinguishable only by the reserved AA prefix. Note that POLICE, CUSTOMS and the Ministry of State's special services are NOT given a series of their own: art. 10 §1 names them only as bodies that may hold an additional current-series number "choisi en dehors de l'evolution normale". So Luxembourg has no police plate series, and this file records none, a sourced negative, not a gap.
About the format
art. 7 e): the numbers 1000 to 9999 preceded by the Latin letters AA, which is exactly why AA is one of the ten pairs struck out of the current series
