The sidelights have the license plate # on them. Never seen that before.

Great catch. I had not noticed that, nor seen it before either.

Looks to me to be written on the photo rather than the light itself.

I've seen this done on many sidelamps. Sometimes in period photos, and sometimes on lamps at swap meets. Not so much on restored cars.
