Field 10 of the UK plastic license (on the back) gives, for each vehicle 
category, what appears to be the date at which a revised format license 
for that category was first issued to the holder. For old fogeys like me, 
that's the date at which the little booklet with red covers was replaced 
be the single folded sheet - not the later version of the single sheet 
that didn't expire until age 70 or something like that, but the first 
version of it which expired after 3 years.  But for people a dozen or more 
years youngerthan me (which is most license holders) that will be the date 
they were first issued with a (full) license.

Or is there a different format UK license that doesn't give this 
information?
