Black-plate registration numbers for WW2 Soviet soft-skin vehicles: trucks, cars, jeeps, Lend-Lease vehicles, Katyusha rocket launchers, AA gun carriers and tractors. Each number is printed white on its own black plate, for vehicles where the number was painted on a black panel. The number was one Cyrillic letter followed by digits; the letters were assigned at random, so any letter suits any vehicle. The letters З, О, Ч, Щ and Ц were not used in wartime, so they do not appear on these sheets.
Formats:
- Early War (1942-43): letter, then 1-15-25 style digits, e.g. Ж-2-15-25.
- Late War (1944-45): letter, then 21-525 style digits, e.g. Ж-21-525, with the taller letter seen from 1944.
- Tractor, Early War / Late War: the shorter tractor format, e.g. Л-84-23, with the standard or the taller letter.
- Star versions (Late War and Tractor, Late War): a small star above the last digit, as seen on many vehicles from 1944.
Two kinds of sheet:
- Letter sheets (А to Я): every registration on the sheet starts with the letter you choose.
- Variety 1-5: a mix of letters on each sheet.
Every registration on a sheet comes as a set of 6: three tailgate-size copies and three door-size copies, kept together so they are easy to find. Within a format, no registration repeats on any other sheet.
Decal sizes (outer size of each black plate, millimeters, height x length; length depends on the letters and digits):
