Try checking it against the letter positions for other plates on the registration sheets:

Position QL should be there (i.e. not removed to be presented to some bigwig) on all of them.

thank you admin.
After checking against the reg sheets.
plate 72 seems to be a match, but would like to compare it to plate 77.

Unfortunately there isn't a registration sheet for plate 77 because it wasn't approved for production use -- if there was it would make things a lot easier. :)
