Interesting,the car in question does have very dark marks through the spaces in the digits,mine are lighter. I do see that there are light marks above the numbers where a pencil couldn't make good contact because the tag was mounted in a car. Mine was difficult,the roll bar made it hard to get a pencil in there,and the tag didn't have the metal backing plate behind it,so it wasn't siting firm behind the dash board. mine was done with a dull pencil. His lokes like the pencil was harp and being run over from a directly above angle.
