I guess they still have 1 million plates in some storage facility. Nah, jokes aside: what they actually do is to not only legally, but practically issue their own plates, which would include stamping them. Also, they don't use the reflective background white. So not only they don't need it, they also have reasons to continue with the old variant. (And actually, they might indeed have a huge stock of them. Military supplies are often aquired at ridiculous numbers.) (PS: Sorry, auto-correct inserted a typo, just fixed)

"Nah, Jones aside" What does this phrase mean?

  Might be an autocorrected "jokes aside"

    That makes sense. Thank you. It's poor attempt at humor if the comment ends by proposing the punchline as an explanation.

Why would it matter how many plates they have unless they stamp them ahead of time? The police issues their own plates as well and they manage fine.

  Police does use the EU variant for the plates, though. You're right, of course they could go with FE Schrift on their old (non-reflective, non-EU) plates. That would, however, be a new combination that would match neither the new civil plates nor the old ones.
