However, this year is unusual in that there is no exact correlation. We have observed eleven reserved-number plates that appear to have their original stickers, with 13 and being the lowest and highest numbers, and in all cases the sticker serial is between , and , numbers higher than the plate number.
In other words, stickers on these eleven plates have serials in the high series and the series, but the difference between plate and sticker numbers is inconsistent, unlike and most later years. Therefore, it appears that a batch of 1, pairs of consecutively-numbered stickers were used to validate baseplates issued for the registration year, but that the stickers were not applied to the plates in any relation to the registration numbers.
On all thirteen reserved-number plates that we observed with numbers between 5 and , the sticker serial is , numbers higher than the plate number, which is to say that the block of stickers set aside for application to reserved-number plates appears to have begun with sticker no.

The "" sticker applied to plate number 99 is number , and that appearing on plate is no.

The first year that annual reserved-number plates were made on the Capital City background is unusual in that, like , there does not appear to be an exact correlation between plate and sticker numbers.
We have observed three reserved-number plates that appear to have their original stickers, with 24 and being the lowest and highest numbers, and in all cases the sticker serial is between , and , numbers higher than the plate number. In other words, although stickers on these three plates have serials in the series, the difference between plate and sticker numbers is inconsistent.
Therefore, it appears that a batch of 1, pairs of consecutively-numbered stickers were used to validate reserved plates issued for the registration year, but the stickers do not appear to have been applied to plates in any relation to their registration numbers.
