Here are some of the back designs
Now that I am looking closely at some of them that I have, they do not all have cereal numbers included. So, going back to my original guess, they must have gotten the addresses of the key owners from the license plate number.
Every letter the DAV sent out contained a pair of the mini plates. You can see the instructions on the backs of the four plates, Guaranteeing postage. The story I heard is that in 1968, because of the donations dwindling, instead of sending the plates out to millions of people for that year, the DAV only sent the plates to people who made a donation first. That is why the 1968 plates are as rare as hens teeth.
