I bet this is perfect job for one of those new 3-D printers. They can now do metal as well as various plastics.

They may be cost prohibitive as each one is unique due to having to change the setup for each serial number.
The shift plate looks similar to CMP shift plates, I may be wrong on that but maybe LWD in Holland may have some.

Default Sublimated Plate/Tag

A reasonably priced option for the plates with printed text would be to get sublimated plates made up. I've used these on some of the picture framing that I've done where colour was needed rather than engraved letters on a brass plate. The letters/graphics are printed on the plate rather than engraved. There is usually a choice of plate material such as aluminum or brass in various finishes. Just need to create the artwork, save it as a PDF or JPEG and find an engraver/trophy shop that has or has access to this equipment.
Cheers, Terry.

I only had a look for the shift plate, and not the data plate. I see no signs of it having been removed, such as a shadow in the interior paint where it might have been. I have done some exterior work and paint to the vehicle, and some mechanical and electrical, but no interior paint.
