skyltkomb

English translation: Number plate size

Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / vägtrafikregistret
Swedish term or phrase: skyltkomb
Please, has anybody encountered this abbreviation on an Extract from the Swedish Vehicle Register/utdrag från vägtrafikregistret.

The vehicle in question si SKODA Kodiaq and the field "skyltkomb" is filled in with "5+5".

The only parameter that I can think of and that could be described with "5+5" in the context of this combi car is 5 passenger seats + 5 doors but I can't figure out what "skyltkomb" could in such case refer to.

The context looks like this:

Fordonsslag PB I Färg BRUN
Fordonskateg Ml Skyltkomb 5 + 5
Karosserikod AC Stationsvagn kombivag
Fabrikat SKODA Fordonsår 2019
Handelsbeteckn KODIAQ Årsmodell

Med andra ord vet inte varken bilprovningen eller TS vad som ska sitta på min bil eller hur den är/ska vara utrustad mer än den knapphändiga information som finns i registerutdraget som lyder som följer:
