All manner of curiosities and anomalies can be found with vehicle numbers on patent plates. I recently saw a photo of one from a 22nd/23rd series car where the entire first portion of the VN, the body type, was omitted so the plate just had the sequential number! It's hard to envision that the car could have left the factory this way yet from the condition of the plate it's clear it was mounted to a vehicle; I'd guess that when the car arrived at a dealer in this manner the dealer would have requested a replacement patent plate in order to properly title the car unless it was sold in one of those few states that titled with motor numbers.
