Nearer 40 years, I think, Mike. I can remember "A-suffix" plates appearing on older cars around 1980, or perhaps a little earlier. For some reason, A30s seem to have been particularly badly afflicted!
The A suffix was indeed 1963, but for some reason only a very few authorities issued them, so there were plenty available when DVLC, as it was then, started issuing them as "age related" registrations years later. Suffices became universal with "B" in '64.
To be fair to Wayne, he does mention the age-related plate and says that he hates them!
