.... which suggests it's still out there, maybe restored in early 90s, and perhaps in a museum or collection. Conflicting dates of 1923 or 1925 - a Galway plate, but all I can say is it was issued before 1929 in a series which started in 1903.

 Were Irish plates part of the British database? Galway is not Northern Ireland.

Quote From 1903, the system used in Ireland was part of the original British system of identifiers. This was superseded in the Republic of Ireland on 1 January 1987.

...

Under this system, Irish vehicle registration marks could be transferred to Britain for re-registration on other vehicles, even after Irish independence, and even though they could not be re-used within Ireland. The letter I in many combinations made these attractive for collectors, and indeed the Kilkenny issue VIP 1 has fetched a record price at auction. Since the introduction of the current system in 1987, such exports have been impossible, even for old-format registrations, although those already exported may still be re-transferred.

 1987 wasn't very ambitious, independent since 1919... So the 1993 record would mean a transfer to the UK from Ireland.
