Any closer shot of the plate? Maybe I have an own pic of it. The trolley buses in Pyongyang have three-digit-plates

No closer view of this one but it starts with '3'.

Here is another one, 340.

Hmm, just by a short overview I cannot find no.340 among our over 2000 pics from the DPRK-trip, but for sure we had made pics of some Chollima 862.

Err, I'm quite irritated now: why are the plates of the other vehicles pixeled? :??: Especially of the overhead-wiring-maintenance-truck? Because it's always the same truck, standing always at the same place, at this junction, vice versa of the foreign book shop. Its plate is Pyongyang 40-1669.

Oh, actually the trolleybus plate is readable in the main picture. It's 333, can you see it?

I don't know why they blurred the other license plate though.

They probably have a standing policy to pixellate number plates for privacy reasons. I recently saw a paparazzo photo of filming in Liverpool for the new Jack Ryan film starring Chris Pine where the fake Russian plate on a Range Rover had been pixellated, probably by an editor who assumed that it was the car taking Pine back to the hotel.

P.S. Is it the same maintenance truck in the same place in this photo?

Yes. It's always the same maintenance truck, which appears at all photo-series of every North Korea-tourist. Because it's parked always at the same place. A place, where every foreign tourist is brought to, because of the foreign book shop on the other side of the street. Where you can buy many Kim Il Sung-, Kim Jong Il and Juche-literature in several languages of the world.
But I didn't want to waste luggage-capacity with that, so I only bought there the only available North Korean cooking book in foreign language (English) for my mother. And some 10-postcard-sets made in 1989 for 1 € each. Some postcards of them I've used (for example for Andre Malraux and IIRC for 130rapid, too) and the others I've sold on eBay for a fair price - 15,50 € last weekend :D
