Which letter space? Latin or Greek?


Greek. Newer municipals use common letters on an orange plate. I can't
remember if the army also use common letters on newer stuff (army kit tends
to last a long time).

I think it's Saudi Arabia that has plates in Arabic numbers and letters (but
not in script) and then a smaller Latin transliteration underneath.
