## About this plate

One-back AUTO ANTIGUO format of the entidades federativas, four characters, and the same shape the 2000 NOM gives to SCT road-inspection vehicles (row 13, AA-00), which the 2016 NOM keeps for inspection while moving historics to AA-0-A. A four-character Mexican string is therefore genuinely ambiguous across eras and classes and a parse API must say so.
