John, In N.Ireland and Britain, when a Garage/Workshop (and I guess Car Factory) take cars on to a public road they have a special Licence Plate they hang over the original registration plate ... this covers the driver for Insurance, Road Tax, etc. From memory I think the plate surround and triangle is in red with white background. I think this is what you are referring to.
