About this plate
THE OKLAHOMA SPECIALTY INDEX, count deliberately absent. The finding that matters here is not the catalogue but the TRIBAL PLATE question: Oklahoma is the US state where sovereign tribal registration is most visible on the road, Service Oklahoma itself lists tribal plates as a plate type, and none of it is state issuance. That is a jurisdiction-model problem, not a series problem, and it belongs in a maintainer decision before L3 rather than in a series record here.
