My 3 tone FC came from Denmark. It also had DE number plates which was a weird WA thing where the cars from the towns throughout WA were given plates coded to that town.

That's a good list concidering they would have all needed to be done in the near future anyway.
Congrats on getting 1 step closer......the list is now defined.
