Probably a block of registrations by a main dealer. When I was a lot younger,kid, my Triumph Herald Convertible was UBL 900G and my mates Herald Convertible was UBL 600G. Both sold by Lex Meade in Maidenhead.

 

According to DVLA both are 2.5l aswell

 

Garages used to I expect they still do get blocks of available reg's that they have to use on new cars.
Therefore the chance of two or more similar cars with similar registrations is not out of the ordinary.

I used to have a Rover 25 many years ago with the reg W191 UEO somebody local had a 25 with W191 VEO, I even parked next to it a few times.

 

That's too close for comfort ,lol.

 

I have a 75 Manual Tourer which my wife won't drive because she doesn't like the clutch. Just out of interest, to see some prices, I searched Autotrader for a car with an identical description but Automatic transmission.

The first car on the list of results list was an identical auto tourer - PL04RRX - which is virtually the same number as mine (just the last digit is different by a couple of letters !)

 

WE had to 75 tourers both 1.8 same spec form the same dealer in our club only one didgit out really wierd different colours though and sold to different owners when new

 

When my parents bought matching cars we had
K691AKV and K692AKV on a 3 door and a 5 door car, they choose following registrations from a long list, so garages usually have ex amount of reg number between x and y.

I.e K600AKV-K900AKV on a list.
