I will have to go out in the morning and look at both of mine. I know the Sqback had a factory license on the front, but I haven't paid any attention to the rear on either of them. The Sqback is a '69 and has the front bracket with the 2 legs, with 3 holes in each leg. to adjust the height. It was held on with 6mm bolts. Just went out with a flashlight and looked. Both front brackets are factory installed. Both rear brackets are dealer installed. The rear ones, are just a horizontal bar, with 2 1/4 inch holes near the middle, and a couple bends to get the ends away from the body. The outer ends are slotted to center/adjust the width of the plate. BTW, I have never pre-delivered and notchback, as they were never sold in the USA.
