By law The number plate on our trucks should be original to the vehicle and held on with the original clutch head screws. It should resemble the plate and screws in the above link though that plate looks different than on my 46. Even if the original is in very poor/aged/ragged condition it is better than using a reproduction. The numbers are stamped with 2 different stamp sizes.
