Any one know the correct dimensions for the rear number plate of a LR Series iii Lightweight?

Can’t find anywhere online...

Help appreciated.

Thanks for the response. On the left side panel, above the brake light and indicator which I think is where the plate was originally fitted from the factory.

Surely all the air transportable were initially on forces plates, just had plates made for my 101, the rear is 12 inches by 8.5 inches.

The plate was originally mounted in the middle of the tailboard. The top piece. It hinged down to be visible with the top tailboard down.
I had mine o the left. It was a standard size square shape. Have a look on the Ex military Land Rover association website for ideas.

Correction.
It was on the lower tailboard. The tools were on the upper tailboard.
See the galleries of the lightweight owners club page.
