Andrew Osborne reports that Irwin-Hodson manufactured Newfoundland plates in a completely redesigned base that is the third variety of the flag design. "Canada" has been removed from the plates and the new style began at HHA 001. The first batch of Veteran plates was made by Waldale, numbered HHB 001 through HHB 999. The HHB alpha was skipped in the Irwin-Hodson contract, as the contract started at HHA 001, and on up to HJG 999, skipping HHB plus a couple of other alphas because of certain letters they do not want to use. The bulk of Veteran plates are on the Irwin-Hodson contract, and are numbered HJL 001 to HJP 999, which is an extension of where the Irwin-Hodson made car plates will end. The bottom line is that there will be two varieties of passenger plates made by Irwin-Hodson, Commercial plates made by Waldale, Commercial plates appearing on cars, and two varieties of Veteran plates on the road. The HLx series is a continuation of the HHx and HJx type from Irwin-Hodson.

The current high has Waldale dies.

The Flag plate ended at HMT-999.

The letter U is omitted.

Pitcher Plant base. This base apparently started at PRZ 001 since the letter Y is not used. Plates were issued through PRZ, and then started over at PRA on the Pitcher Plant base.

Flag base started in PRX series. Manny Jacob reports PRX 620 on the flag base with Haiti dies. PRW 727 reported as a high on the World of Difference base.

For prorated vehicles commercially registered for operation with other provinces, mostly transport trucks and some tourist buses.
