About 13 MDL

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The DL index mark traces back to Isle of Wight. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 5 characters, 13 MDL is shorter than most registrations in this era.
