About this plate
THE SECOND TWO-LETTER ORDER, 1 April 1982 to 31 December 2001. The authority is the authority, so the split is shipped; but the substance of the change could not be established, and this note says so rather than inventing one.
Region code notes
the allocation file is a CURRENT snapshot; it is not evidence of which station issued a combination in this period
About the format
The letter exclusions (I, M, O, Q) and the no-leading-zero rule are CURRENT authority statements; no source was found establishing that either held in 1982-2002, and asserting them for a closed historic period would be a guess dressed as a grammar.

Legal basis and sources

  1. § 2-18: 'Kjennemerke for registreringsordning etter 31. mars 1982 frem til 1. januar 2002', 'To bokstaver og 4 eller 5 tall', and the reference to Bestemmelser om kjøretøy datert 3. mai 1984. https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/1990-01-25-92/KAPITTEL_2
  2. 2026-07-16): the source treats 1971-2001 as ONE plate design and records no 1982 event at all, the disagreement noted below. https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjennemerke_for_motorkj%C3%B8ret%C3%B8y_i_Norge
