By 1957, the plates were no longer split up by subtypes.

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.

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