Its kinda nice hanging on to the 'olde' type too.
All the codes on it are a bit confusing as well!
My Uncle did his online and had no problems. Kept his paper lisence until the new one appeared so he had proof.

As to the moped entitlement, looked into this a while back and found that pre 97 lisences had the moped on them (50cc) and a provisional motorcycle. Anything bigger (up to 125cc) and it's a CBT. Would advise a Cbt whatever if he hasnt ridden for a while or at all.
