Can anyone analyze the significance of my letter/number choice on my custom German plate?

Here's the front view of our 1970 Porsche 914. We plan on taking this car with us to Peru after my wife retires. Hence the personalized license plate.

Osnabruck914 The A-4 and V-2 were the same names for the wonder weapon rockets developed by Von Braun. Germans called them the V-2 rockets while the Nazis were making them in the Mittelbrau Dora concentration camp, while I believe the US Army called the rockets the A-4 when the US began building the rockets with captured German engineers and NOS German parts after WW2. |

Peenemunde, where the V-2 rockets were developed and originally built by the Nazis under the direction of Werner Von Braun, is located in the German state/province of OVP!

BTW, no one on the road has ever made the connection. Glad to know there are still some intact brain cells out there.
