It might have been, but knowing most radio engineers of the time it would have been removed from the bottom of the case if it hadn't already fallen out and just been chucked in the nearest bin as not being relevant or necessary anymore.
I'm actually listening to Absolute Radio on my DAC90A right now and I just looked inside and there seems to be no sign of a licence plate ever having been fitted - it's a 73 series five figure serial number set. I was surprised to find the remains of two dead spiders and their webs inside, especially seeing as it doesn't seem that long since I originally opened the back for its clean out and mini service.
I can't remember if I checked the date on the smoothing can when I originally gave it its clean and mini service, but I may have taken some pictures at the time - I'll have to check back.
