not wanting to be a kill joy but to me the plate looks to big for the bike and i thought the cut off point for that colour plate was 1974
be sure you have insurance until your tax is up or the nice people at the DVLA will send you some nasty letters anyway enjoy riding
As long as its registered as Historic it can display black and white plates. This is a rolling entitlement as is the historic status.
as long as it's pre jan 1975 which this is so its as would have been originally fitted
Nope, that has been changed and any bike registered as historic can display a black / white/ silver plate.

Vehicles made before 1 January 1973 may display traditional

grey characters on a black plate). From April 2019 vehicles
manufactured before 1 January 1979 are also able to display
traditional ‘black and white’ number plates. You must:
• have applied to DVLA
