Thanks for that.... FF could well be 11 I agree. KA can't be plate 18 - plate wasn't completed.. |

Sorry, I meant KA looks like plate 14. Hit the wrong key on the numeric keypad and wasn't paying attention. I need to start proofreading the numbers I type, not just the words.  Look at the right side, the 14 is a lot clearer on the right side. |

I can't tell the plate number for CB, but it does appear to be a one digit plate number.
On the left side, the 2nd digit position is blank ==> only one digit in plate number

You made me go the other way and reduce the picture instead of enlarging it -- and yeah, it does appear to a smudged 6 (or at least a digit that has a big loop at the bottom half). Good eye vikingeck! |

I can see the 11 in FF now. Possibly make out the 14 on KA. Will play with the scanner settings to see if I can enhance the images.

A snippet from the right side of your KA and then rotated. I circled the 4 in green at top pic, then wrote in the 14 in green in bottom pic.  |

Thank you very much. I can see that now with the editing. A snippet from the right side of your KA and then rotated. I circled the 4 in green at top pic, then wrote in the 14 in green in bottom pic. |
