If so, did it start at the same time as in Great Britain - ie A=1963,
B=1964 etc?


Except only London used A.


Not exactly. IIRC Only Middlesex (this was before the GLC remember) and
Staffordshire used "A". London (as in the LCC) didn't use "A" in 1963.


Lancashire also issued A-suffix numbers in 1963. It was a toss-up whether my
car was registered as ATExxxA or 6189DK, ending up as the latter.
