I have seen reference to the Canadian Forces in the U.K. receiving block issues of tags and seals displaying census numbers for fitment as Chris says to the steering columns and the fork parts on motorcycles as a form of permanent identification. These were issued in blocks alongside the WD Census numbers that were block- allocated to Canadian-owned vehicles.
This seems perhaps sensible in a situation where the temptation to 'acquire' a replacement vehicle from whatever source if the original became damaged or lost would have been considerable.
It would seem logical that the seal was removed and returned for cancellation when the vehicle was officially struck off charge.
