[TR] Decoding Brit issue number ( licence ) plate?

[ZinkZ10C at aol.com]

I found a old Brit ( I think ) number plate and would like to decode it.  (
Year of issue, location, more? )  As my state does not issue front plates,
there is a chance the number is USA issue and was built by the owner to match t
he
rear number plate.

The plate has white numbers on a black background.  The numbers are separate
from the backing and have a pointed profile when viewed from the side. ( they
look like a peaked house roof )

Thanks
Harold
