About 18 SHM
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The HM index mark traces back to East Ham, now associated with London. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 5 characters, 18 SHM is shorter than most registrations in this era.
