from my experiences at work, unless they were put on with aluminium rivets its my guess that the rivets corrode the plate falls off and ultimately gets thrown away......or farmer joe or Lumber Jack whilst brutalising the carrier of its armour, throws it away.
another theory on rivets, if aluminium rivets are used in conjunction with the steel plate, over a long period the aluminium would react and oxidise eventually becoming brital, my example of this would be 99% french cars go look where the engine number plate should be, if your car is of any decent age i bet the plate has fallen off.
