If you're supposed, for example, to give your registration number to the

reasonable. It's the only proof you have.

Sigh.

They ask you if you have a car in the car park. If the answer is yes, only
then ask for the number, and they type it in.

I'm not 'supposed' to give my registration number at all.

You said in your original post that you were. You knew the system. You knew the
rules. You knew the score. It was clearly in your interest to give it to them even
if they didn't specifically request it, otherwise it was very obvious you could be
accused of parking contrary to the terms and conditions, as indeed you have been.

And now you're acting like a total dork by not simply providing a copy of your till
receipt that would settle the matter instantly.

If it was
something you did all by yourself at some public terminal, it would have
been my 'fault' - especially since it wasn't my first visit with this
parking scheme.

But when it's something entirely initiated by the checkout person - and
the rules could easily have changed - it is up to 'them' to do the job
properly.

It's never occurred to you to be even a tiny bit helpful then?
