Did 2005 749R come with Ducati plaques?

[fatman]

Liking all things Ducati, another curiousity question since I'm a obsessive with details.
Did 2005 749R come with the same type of plaques from Ducati with the Vin number and engine number in a box like the 999R's ? I've only seen one boxed plaque with a 2003 999R.
But did Ducati issue them for the 749R and later year 999R ? Again, Thank You!

I've seen two with and one without. Some also had carbon bodywork and some did not. Maybe they quit at some point?

IIRC only the 2004 749R had CF panels, unlike the 999R which had them all years I think.

749R plaques have been very difficult to understand . They all had one but the numbers were all mixed up. The total number is also a bit of a mystery but it was under 1000 . You could have a 2006 749R with a numbered plaque of 17 and a 2004 with a numbered plaque of 722 there was no method to the numbers but there were no duplicates.

So they must have had a big box with 749R plaques at Ducati as the early models have a different engraved Ducati font style in the top triple then the 2005/2006 models have. The older models also don’t have two small holes completely through the triples for the plaque. They are only a few mm deep. I have had both triples and found two pictures (left one is the older style). You have to look very careful to see the differences in the top triple.
