Shouldn't it be GB though? UK could be confused with Ukraine (which is actually UA on the ISO 3166 list). Maybe no matter. I have also seen ENG, SCO, etc.

Its UK now. I wasn't sure as to the reason why, so I did a little research.
UK vs GB Stickers | Why the Change?
What's triggered the change? One word…Politics.

While no official announcement has been made, it is anticipated that the change has been implemented to show solidarity with Northern Ireland due to Brexit.

Still don’t understand?

It is quite simple (and some might even use words like ‘bureaucratic’ or ‘petty’)…

The term ‘Great Britain’ refers to England, Scotland and Wales. While the term ‘United Kingdom’, in fact, refers to each of these areas plus Northern Ireland.

By making the rule that you must display a ‘UK’ sticker, the plan is to ensure that motorists on the continent (and in the Republic of Ireland) are actually highlighting that Northern Ireland is still part of our nation.

It’s the little things that count. Right?
