Point 1. Jean rode the Tri-Greeves up until she had a major accident that happened in the Forest of Dean area, when a car hit her while running in a Press BMW. She made a good recovery and rode the little Honda quite well despite the prosthetic. I believe she suffered from MS and passed on some years ago.
Point 2. Dick only died within the last few months, having lived in Llandrindod Wells for a number of years. As previous posts indicate, number plates were somewhat flexible....as Dick said, a 500 Triumph is a 500 Triumph....actual plate used depended on which had road tax paid.
Point 3. Dick wouldn't let anyone else ride Jean's bike as he said it wouldn't take the punishment that a male rider would give it. That didn't stop him riding it in various observation trials.
