Anyone on here knows more about the history behind the country part of aircraft registration

Dutch: Was 'H' for Holland, changed to 'PH', 'PJ' and 'PK'
UK: 'G' for Great Britain
Iran: 'EP' Empire of Perisa.
China: 'B' for Beijing

But why did the US get the 'N', and where do all those 'V*' codes come from that are often used by ex-british colonies
 
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Not sure this answers your question, but it is an interesting read.

Aircraft Registration
 
...
If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
