Yup mine are pressed metal plates with the relevant marks needed to make them legal. They are normally coloured too, they were sold as legal. You can't even tell they are metal until you look up close to be honest.

My van failed on the number plates because the fonts were slanted, perfectly readable and no damage.

I've now fitted pressed plates and the only markings on them are the numbers and letters, passed ok.

Mine too failed the MOT last Friday because I (rather naively) split one number away from the others e.g. B123 ABS became B12 3ABS and failed because of incorrect spacing
