diplomatic license plate
Just a guess, since it's not clear if your assumption of JBN's meaning is correct, but could it be a license plate number? In Japan, diplomatic license plates carry 外 followed by four digit number.

>>外交官などの車両は外交特権で日本国法の適用対象外となり、自動車税の納付義務もない。また、ナンバープレートも青地に白抜きの特殊なもの（「外・0901」のような形）になる（別名ブルーナンバー）。
The numbers at the end is probably the date, Sept. 17, 2007, by the way...

foreign capital
Could it be 外資系? Then the number could mean the member's registration number or something. Totally guessing.
