Just a guess, but I believe it may have had to with WHERE in CA the truck was originally registered??? Big cities may have churned thru the black plates faster while some places still had a stock of older plates.
I have definitely seen this with cars -- all my original, one-owner black plate 66s (2 chevelles, a GTO and a Skylark) were from LA and Orange County and had a sequence of Rxx 123 or Sxx 123. The 67s were Txx 123 and Uxx 123 and so on. But when I bought an original, one-owner 66 from up north in little Eureka, CA the plate was BXR 123....

We moved to southern California in June, 1968. Our 65 Impala SS was issued XDB 377. We bought a new car in October or November, 1968 and it got XNM 4xx. The 69 truck was purchased new in November, 1969. It got 73 8XX D. If I recall correctly all plates were issued at a DMV office in Anaheim.
