Format, years and the law

Format
99-LL-99 L, for example 68-BM-24 R (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The trailing letter is the decode, and it sits where the date normally would: on a machinery plate the yellow bar swaps the registration date for a single letter stating the machine's circulation class, what it may do on a road, written on the plate.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
2006 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Agricultural: farm vehicles/equipment where separately serialized. Issued for machine and trailer.
Colours
Characters #000000 Background #FFFFFF
