What about finding a place that was able to do just the publication plate? This was mounted on the front armour just below and to the right of the gun slot. It would be standard for the carriers and it has no VIN/serial info on it.

The automobile was patented by a man named Selden in the late 19th century. Most car makers paid him a royalty & were supplied a plate with raised lettering & a stamped number indicating the fee had been paid. (Henry Ford fought him until the patent was weeks from expiring.)
These plates have been reproduced by casting new ones from an original pattern. The back is, as you would expect, smooth but the front is very correct. The repros have no stamped numbers so you can stamp them to match the car if you know the number. I have used both originals & repros & once installed you can not tell the difference. The carrier plates could be cast in aluminum. You might have to live with an incorrect ser. no. or leave the number blank & stamp the correct number if it is important in your area. The picture with no background is an original reverse stamped plate, the other is a new casting. Last edited by Jack Innes; 12-12-12 at 05:26.

data plate
What I found was that it is hard to find someone with the male and female stamps .If I could get the stamps I would make them my self ..Somone is making the" FORD" plate behind the driver .I know some that got them .
The two plates I was trying to get are 104x38 mm ,the letters or numbers are 6mm and 4 mm high The plate is .015 or 1/2 mm thick made of zinc .The stamps are backward as it is stamped from the back so as to get razed letters .This requires two stamps .A male and a female to make one letter .The stamps that you can buy are for front stamping .Could a CNC milling machine make a set ? If anone wants to see if they can find these stamps give it a try .

I used to work for an industrial supply company. I cannot remember which vendor it was but metal stamps of any kind can be made, including reverse.
Expect to pay a few hundred dollars for a set.
