Default Brass contract plate

Last question: these brass contract plates were rivetted to the rear mudguard of BSA M20's and Norton 16H's, but I've never seen them on Royal Enfields. Somebody told me that Enfield used to have "a rectangular brass plate wrapped round the rear mudguard carrier giving the contract number...". Can anybody confirm this? Were these plates used on other makes as well?

REgards,
Jan

By the way, in my research for the war time history of the WD/CO, I have found that quite a few of these motorcycles were despatched from the factory to Dudley Zoo in 1943. Was this a military depot during the war?
