If the size on the number plate is holding you back from entertaining my theory, take note of these images of the front number plate on LM3 which read '1 SEN' when Morrison had it.
Also, the shots of LM3 taken outside at McLaren Cars in front of the Formula One rig show an identical sized plate or plate holder in the front. We've also seen smaller-than-normal UK front plates on other F1s like #011, #069 which are just slightly smaller, or #16R which is almost identical in size to what's seen here on LM3. Either the law allows for some variance, or owners make a concious decision knowing there may be a penalty.
Incidentally, the rear plate on LM3 was standard UK size - it can be seen (unclearly) in the short drive-off video from the 1999 Gumball event.
