## About this plate

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE fleets, Army (ET), Navy (FN), Air Force (EA). One series because Anexo XVIII II.B treats the three contraseñas in a single provision with a single numbering rule; the branch is decodable from the contraseña. Colours and dimensions are NOT in Anexo XVIII for state plates and are not invented here.

## About the format

digit width is representative only, Anexo XVIII II.B lists the contraseñas but states no numbering grammar
