(Can anyone explain why the round stickers are missing from the number plate?)

The round sticker missing means it is not registered. If it was registered there’d be 1 sticker on the front plate (Bavarian state seal) and 2 stickers on the rear plate (state seal + roadworthiness inspection seal). Maybe it’s a US plate in a German design? I’ve seen these before, although never with an actual valid German letter combination.
Otherwise it’s safe to assume the vehicle is neither registered nor insured.

It's just a remade plate. It seems to be a popular opinion for Germans travelling in the United States, as they usually keep the original plates inside the car, while displaying copies to avoid theft or any plate damages.

The plates are just remade, and they are keeping the originals with the seals safe inside, or back in Germany. You don't need the seals in the USA.

That makes sense, thank you. To see an uncommon car with German plates in the US is pretty rare, so I always thought they ought to be proper number plates registered to the vehicle.
I've seen the same with the cars in Russia that are registered in the US - the owners just make the photocopies of the plates and keep the proper ones somewhere inside the car.

For the ones in Russia I would rather think there are different intentions.

I'm talking about those instances when I knew for a fact, that the owner kept their cars registered in the US, and wanted to drive them in Russia. Very rare instances, but happened a few times none the less.
