What are these brass plates

Thats interesting .

When I was 16 , I worked pumping petrol in a petrol station. One day, a WW2 Jeep turned up on a trailer . I was stunned to see a real one , not on TV or the movies . I was all over it like a rash . It had a U.S. rebuild plate on the dash , somewhere in Arizona from memory , crazy the things you remember .
