Several years ago I assisted RM606's owner in retrieving his bus's WLT 606 registration, he bought it for £2k.

My question is, does anyone know if CLT and DYE registrations are worth more than VLT or WLT regs as the numbers and lettering are reversed on the latter? for example (WLT 737),(353 CLT).

My bus number (if any): RMs737, 875, 1353 (Driver)

It's a complex market with lots of factors, birth dates, initials, company names initials and relevant numbers.

But 3 number 3 letter. 4 number 2 letter 6 digit plates generally command high prices but reduced to 5 or 4 is a much higher premium. Less than that and the figures rocket.

The DVLA hold thousands of deficit numbers and those off registered scrapped vehicles, so technically there are a few thousand RT, RF and RM registrations that could be re-released for auction at some stage in the future. So far the DVLA has no plans forthcoming to do this but does filter a few re-issues occasionally. Problem is old long scrapped vehicles have a habit of returning from the ashes and they are very good at trying to reunite vehicles with original registrations with the help of various historic and classic motor organisations.
