Any one passed class 2 around 1993/1994?

Hello there,if a driver did his class 2 around 1993/4 would they have a ce with 102 restriction or not? At our work we have 7.5t with 3.5ton trailors so our drivers need either a full c1e or class one,one lad at our place who said he did his class 2 around 1993 and he says hes got a ce with 102,easy enough to check if I saw his licence but he wont fetch it in coz he said work checked it and said yeah u can drive that,bearing in mind that our gaffers thought any one who passed there car test before 1997 cud tow up to 11ton! They had never heard of the 107restriction,what I want to now is there any of u lads that got ur class 2 around that time and did u get the ce with 102,i thought they stopped that in 1990? Cheers in advance!
