OMNIBUS 1939-1960 By 1957, the plates were no longer split up by subtypes.
1939-1956OA 000 or OA 00A
OA 1000 - ??
In "THE BULLETIN ALMANAC AND YEAR BOOK FOR 1941", the prefixes are listed as:

O/A - O/FTaxi
O/H - O/L Livery
O/M - O/X Bus
O/Y - O/Z U-Drive (Rental)

I am not sure when or if this changed before 1960.
I have not seen OY or OZ plates before the 1957 base.

It is doubtful if the 1957/58 plates followed the same prefixes as the previous issues.
It seems more likely that they started at some point in the high "O" series (O/Y 100 maybe?) and worked their way up to O/Z 999.

1960Paul Kovalski

In late 1959 or early 1960, O/Z 999 was reached, and a new 4-digit series started at O/A 1000.
