These originally were country stickers used in Europe to denote what country the car was registered in. Now, they're novelty bumper stickers for different places in the US -- OBX is "Outer Banks", A2 is "Ann Arbor" etc.

RE:
What do those oval, black & white bumperstickers mean that only have initials?

It is due to climate and geography.. given no further mixing of races, migrations, etc. All people in North America will look like Native Americans in 10,000 years (How's that for Geronimo's last laugh), all South Africans will be uniformly black, people living in Hawaii will look like Don Ho etc. it's an adaptation to environment. Of couse we have an interconnected world these days so who knows what we'll look like that far into the future.

In Europe when you drive to a foreign country you need to put a sticker on your car based on where you come from. So for example, GB means Great Britain, E means Spain, I is Italy, D is Germany...etc. The reason for this is because unlike US plates, that show the state's name (where you're from), the European plates show only the letters and numbers, but not what country they're from.

besides being a novelty sticker or a vehicle from europe. they are also used on work vehicles (delivery vans and pick ups) to show the weight class the work vehicle is in.

They have shorthand, similar to postal shorthand, for a country, instead of a state or province. NZ, for example, stands for New Zealand.

They usually denote the country of origin from which the vehicle is travelling.

The stickers mean that the car has been to another country and the import use tax has been paid.
