Unusual Number Plate

Can anyone explain the origins of this number plate?

I've never seen anything like it before.

Kraut number on a Britsh made plate ?

Looks like an agricultural / tractor trailer?

Some large operators have their own vehicle serial numbers fitted to their vehicles when they're mostly used off road. The photo doesn't show the top of the trailer. I'd hazard a guess that the correct reg number is right at the top of the trailer, out of shot, and the visible one is just a company identifier.

Just a guess though.

^That's what I thought to begin with. But not only was this displayed on the back of the trailer, but also on the tractor too (and exactly where the plate should go)

Bit of a mystery.

In that case, I have no idea!

Why would a UK built and operated vehicle have a foreign registration made up on plates that don't match that country's legislation?

It makes it illegal in both.

Original plate lost or stolen and temporary replacement made up locally?

A foreign registered vehicle being used here needs to be legal in its country of registration.

The plate falls foul of that. The UK is the only country, as far as I'm aware, that doesn't have trailer specific registrations in the EU. So it falls foul of that.

It's a UK vehicle going by the builders name and operators phone number, so why would it be foreign registered?
