Theory:  Codes for F,J,M,(N?),R,S,W may be same as 1932-36;
D,E,K,T,V,Z may be overflow for those needing more than 4,000
plates, but only 3 overflow regions expected (F,J,M).
Numbers in each prefix (except C) appear to start at 6000, not 1000.
C may well be Commercial, with a possible start of C-1000.
