How sure are we that the font is wrong on the Zephyr and the Bedford? The Zephyr's looks definitely wrong to me but the Bedford's less so if it was hand painted in 1949? The only question remains is was the number-plate is mocked-up by the movie production company based on an actual Army series of numbers?
