Take GNE's "TEN" branded B9s for example - 6071 is registered NK62 FAA and 6072 is registered NK62 FBA, the rest of the batch doesn't follow this pattern at all.
When buying a new car, the purchaser is given a list of available number plates.
Obviously that list isn't unlimited and is specific to that dealer/manufacturer.
I am not 100& sure, but I am pretty certain there are no specifics about whether a registration is car, bike, truck or bus.
For example, I am aware of a number of cars with the registration Vxxx DNL.
Arriva still have a few MPD's (I think) in this series and passed on some to GNE a few years back, which didn't last long.
Ideally, GNE will want a batch of vehicles to have a sequence, but this won't always be possible.
You just need to look at the fleet list to spot the odd random plate or missing letter.
