You may get to use it if you register the plate as YOM (Year Of Manufacture). From my experience they only look at the numbers & letters. The (COM) on your plate likely wouldn't be part of that. The regulations are kind of fuzzy around the edges and also depend on which clerk you speak to. As long as the year of the vehicle matches the year of the plate they should accept it. I have the yellow YOM plates on both my truck and car and they both reflect what would have been issued back then. However, I have seen truck sequenced numbers on cars and vice versa. Look at the newly issued black plates, you see the same number sequences issued to Priuses and F250's. They still charge the weight fees on trucks regardless.
