UK is just the same, normally the makers plate is never touched. However I have seen one type (BO 105) where there was a box for the registration on the makers plate. I never saw one that had this information added.
The requirement for a registration plate was part of the Air Navigation Order however this seems to have disappeared with the 2016 revision. Could be this is now an EASA requirement.
Correction it is still in the ANO Schedule 4
Loss of the plate can be serious as manufacturers are reluctant to replace them. How did it get an export Cof A without a plate?
