OTOH mine (RBoS) looks nothing like that, and I'm pretty sure it's changed
at least once when a new card has been issued.  There isn't really room to
include a full 6-digit sort code and an 8-digit account number anyway, is
there?

However, I have in the past had a Mastercard whose number looked 
suspiciously like my date of birth!
