If you give me the 1st letter of your blue/yellow combo, I can come up with an approximate year of issue. And whether it was a numbers/letter combo or the later single number, letter, number
The current 7 digit format of number, 3 letters, 3 numbers started around 1980. I remember it well because we were allowed to go to 7 digits for personal (vanity) plates and I jumped all over that.

The white/blue combos for normal plates was sometime after that
