I once had an Anglia 750 SKO, I think when it is the other way it is the earlier series, my dad had a Jaguar 1 1/2 Litre of the late 40s and was KLE 144....

This website gives some guidance, though doesn't actually answer the question.

It's a Birmingham number, issued at the time when old style combinations were running out.

MOK 272 would be an earlier plate than 272 MOK. As it's from an area of high-density population, my guess is that they would have run out of 'letters/numbers' registrations earlier than many other parts of the country.
So my guess is 272 MOK.

(I had a '61 105e, registered in London: 809 BYW).
