Isle of Man plates

Yes is the short answer

Simples!

Well, you have to buy the plate from a plate maker once a new registration mark has been assigned to your vehicle by DVLA. You'll be issued with an official form that allows you to obtain a plate in the absence of a registration document, you take that with another form of ID and payment to the plate maker and he'll be able to enter those details on the DVLA number plate system before making a plate.

Do they not have "Transport Services" across the bottom and the BS kite in the bottom right corner?

if manx plate rule run the same as Northern island another fix is to register that number as a 'personal plate' with the DVLA and pay the cash

When I imported my GSXR1000 from Belfast I didn't have to pay any extra to register it here on the NI plate, I just paid the normal road fund licence fee and that was it. There was no additional charge for registering it as a private plate.

I was given the choice of a new mainland '52' regisration number or I could keep the old NI one, I chose to leave it as it was because I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of trying to get a new registration plate made up with all the stupid new rules about who can make them and what ID is required.
