Al:
Ed says" first congrats on move!!  Now on to plate/paint prob.
Question.  Is the inspector at (er?) DMV a CHiP??  or a DMV guy??
My recommendation PRIOR to going thru all the "work" you are attempting
would be to ASK about "how to read #" considering the problem.
Second thought.  Have you taken a piece of paper and tried to "copy" the #
by rubbing with either a #2 pencil or something hard enough to make an
"impression"?
Third.  Have you tried brake CLEANER??   Stuff can be VERY nasty!!!
Fourth.  Back to #1 about "explaining". <G>
Good Luck.
        Ed"
My sentiments also, Al.
        Rick
