AT LL 999-999 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

AT marks a mission's administrative and technical staff, a rung below CD, and Switzerland is unusual in giving them a sign at all. Then canton, internal number, country code. Not to be confused with the AT oval on an Austrian bumper.

AT
personnel administratif et technique (administrative and technical staff)
