One more for the road.. I grabbed a few screen shots from the video of what (to me) appeared to be the best angles of the license plate, both front and back..
I am now convinced the plates are exactly the same, and that there is something to the "blob" theory; the plates have a distinct image or logo on the left side.. I understand and agree that some of what is visible may just be artifacts of the lighting, but the similarities between both front and back give some credibility to the idea..

I saw an interesting read license plate today. It had a crown with letters GBRN. I could not make out the state as hard as I tried. I got right up behind it and it had a license plate frame around it but I could see no state. I am in the Dallas TX area. Occasionally I will see a plarte from Mexico (Chiuahua or some place there)..... but this had zip on it. Very odd since it was the rear plate.
