About 5 MSX
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The SX index mark traces back to West Lothian, now associated with Scotland. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 4 characters, 5 MSX is shorter than most registrations in this era.
