Ontario licence plates that did not include the suffix "F" (indicating Federal) were placed on vehicles that still belonged to the plant, i.e. trial, experimental, etc... and which had to go on public roads. These vehicles had not yet been turned over to DND so it would be misleading to say that these were "used by DND not yet allocated a Census Number"
