Normal colours have been black on white. If there were other colours in use is not known. It's also not known if there were special trade plates issued within this series. I do not know the number code of this series (if somebody has any further information it would be very apprechiated when you e-mail it). The five states in East-Germany had the following codes:

BP = Brandenburg Provinz / Province of Brandenburg
MF = Mecklenburg Freistaat / Free State of Mecklenburg
SF = Sachsen Freistaat / Free State of Saxony
SP = Sachsen Provinz / Province of Saxony
TF = Thüringen Freistaat / Free State of Thuringia

and a extra code for the east sectors of Berlin

GB = Groß Berlin / Greater Berlin
