About 5 OV
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The OV index mark traces back to Birmingham, now associated with West Midlands. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 3 characters, 5 OV sits in a very short collector tier.
