Wickerbottom is a very smart character, so whatever she doesn't know stands out. Most of her examination quotes are succinct descriptions, almost encyclopedic. In my opinion, if she knew what a license plate was, she would say "An inscription that identifies automobiles" or something similar. The examination quote as it is sounds like something one would say about an unknown artifact. Actually, now that I looked at other quotes, her quote is just another way of saying what Maxwell or Warbucks say ("Letters and numbers… some sort of secret code?" and "Ancient script perhaps?").
