Plates B/C/E/F are the same below 13ft 9in.  Plate H is much narrower
but barely tapers at the bottom (think well cars).  I don't have Plate
A/D/G/K outlines, so I'm not sure how those compare.

The "Standard Passenger" plate is slightly wider than Plate H but tapers
_more_ than Plates B/C/E/F at the bottom.
