For period correctness could be either silver or white on a black background or reflective. (IIRC reflectives were available from 1968 but not compulsory until 1974). If reflective NOT perspex ones.
IMHO Unless you have a lot of money to spend on plates with raised clip-on letters/numbers, then embossed pressed alloy ones are probably best.
Worth bearing in mind Minor saloons often had a specially shaped rear plate to fit the slight recess in the boot lid
