i would say so. 3rd car for the day.
you would think they would write 03 instead of deleting the digit.
but they also did it with week at the start of the number sequence (at least for some years)
i have a 74 jan build and instead of writing 04 at the start of the number sequence its just 4.
so similarly i have a six digit production number instead of a 7 digits number.
it seems to be inconsistent.
they have chosen in your case to write 07 at the start instead of just seven.
then deleted the 0 from 04 instead.
certainly the 6 numbers fit inside the space on the plate better than 7!
