I have also seen similar plates on motorcycles, all with a post war date. Does anybody know if these plates were used during the war as well?
Hi Jan,

My own BSA WM20 carries one of these plates on the rear mudguard and it is wartime dated, but slight variation on the first line;
MINISTRY OF SUPPLY T.T.3 (BR)

Mine is dated 3-3-44 and AAW number is B180

These Army Auxillary Workshops were usually civilain garages contracted to the Ministry to carry out rebuild work.
