I suspect that the plate was just a fake number, because it's in the wrong
format. An Ontario plate would have had three letters, space, then three
numbers until it went to ZZZ 999, then they went to three numbers, space,
three letters until 999 ZZZ. Then a fourth letter was added with the letters
and numbers were reversed again, so that the current format is AAAA 111.
Anyone can order a "vanity" plate with any 7 characters, of course. It's
interesting that they used the same fake plate for the two shows, though, as
they were in production about the same time and many of the production crew
(and directors) were the same.

Hmmm.. Is is possible that the plate number is a standard, like 555 phone
numbers here?

Perhaps it was an homage of some kind. Or, if there are common production
people, maybe an inside joke. Were the plates identical in shape and colorr? Maybe
it was a cost saving measure and it was "borrowed".

I was watching an old episode of "ENG" tonight with Nigel in a smaller role. It
was from 1990. They had an old Dodge pickup under surveillance and
the license plate was 35HMV6.
