Thank you very much, philgoddard! There is no certainty that "Reg Equity 00008" is the equivalent to the code "EQ: 8".
Otherwise, the "EQ: 8" is a different version of the look of the registration certificate (?).
How about a "EQ: 60000"s which are also being visible in many examples on the web, accordinly?

In airmailpl's reference, the document in the second picture reads: 'WC' (which must be weight class) 00008'. After that, it says 'Reg. equity: 00008'. I don't know why the two numbers are the same. Equity is the price you paid less the balance on the loan.

eq:7 or eq:8 => 7 - under 3,500 pounds. - 8 over 3,500 pounds

If you're driving a newer vehicle, then your vehicle is probably a Class 7 or Class 8, with the difference being whether the vehicle weighs more or less than 3,500 pounds.

Note from asker:
Thank you very much.
I'm familiar with the table, no a "EQ" indication.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : There's nothing about "eq" in your reference, but it does say "equity" in the picture, which may be the answer.
