I forgot to mention two more details.  There are also C (consul) and A (UN
Secretariat) plates.  Also, plates issued to UN missions are backwards...
serial number first, then country code, then the status code.   My list of
codes is a bit out of date since it only shows 158 codes and there are now
over 190 UN missions; maybe somebody has a more recent one?
