Default Is there an easy way to remove the data plate on center console?

I found an original NOS 69 427/390 data plate for the center console on fleabay.

The replacements all seem to have a different size font...so happy to have an original. The lettering was getting hard to read on mine and the flags had almost totally lost their color.

Is there an easy way to get the old one out of the center console below the shifter?

They're stick on, but the key word might be "easy".
