Ermm, strangely enough I know those....There's a SL500 near me with M500SLW.... There's also a CL with a similar plate....

A number of years ago they changed the rules in NZ too. The restriction being it had to be no more than 6 characters.When the licensing system was changed in Malta some years ago, a driver had to go to Floriana, the licensing centre, and could buy a personal plate with almost whatever he liked on it. It became HIS plate, which he keeps when the car is sold. The Transport authority on Malta actually makes the plates while you wait - embossed and hologrammed. You can't go and buy plates from anywhere else.
Some did not look far enough ahead, so a driver with a BMW 323 would proudly buy that as his plate. When he changed his car, the plate looked stupid on his new Merc. The system is changed now.
A canny local in our village bought FUN 1, FUN 2, FUN 3, FUN 4. They matched all the families cars, and the island atmosphere.
Over here, all registration plates are unique. That's the point of them...By pure chance I was issued a plate some years ago with GMT000. Never kept it but it was quite unique.

Well, I say unique. One at the back as well, so not unique at all. Sorry I mentioned it.
