I wonder in this instance, where it would be going back with a replica of the same data plate and vin as it was born with, if the proper LEO’s were in the picture for the whole process it might be doable, with the correct rosettes etc. I know that here you can remove the plate for repair and restoration purposes but the state police have to be present when it is removed and installed so there is a legal process for it. With all that said, if it were me I wouldn’t even worry about it on the truck in the op’s picture.
