About this plate
DISTRICT GOVERNMENT FLEET. The second independent appearance of a slash-marker legend in this group (after Maryland's S/G and L/G) is quietly useful evidence that the separator contract's exclusion of the solidus is right: three jurisdictions print it, none of them uses it inside a serial, and in every case it belongs to the legend layer.
