My Land Rover was first registered in 1969 and it has it's original yellow and black rear plate with raised plastic letters, so yes, I think that was the norm even then.  It would have been optional but the new plates looked more modern I imagine.  I've left it on because it's part of the cars history and besides, it's job is still logging, fencing and transporting livestock, rather than being a hobby vehicle.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Quite possible as reflective plates were introduced sometimes in 1967 as optional. They became mandatory in August 1973 on the M plate iirc.
