The NSW plate you found dates from 1937 to 51
In 1937, letters in numberplates were first introduced, using a AA-000 to ZZ-999 series. This ran until 1951 with the "NSW" insert on the top of the plate. It is the beginning of Page embossed dies.

It could also be from a motor bike ... throws a spanner into it .
