They seem to stamp it for all vehicle catagories of licences without looking too closely at your UK one, other than for Name and Address.
For more details Google 'International Driving Permit'
Another advantage of an IDP is it has no serial number, etc for local Police to follow up on.

just looked on google, an the AA website and here is what it says

About IDPs
An International Driving Permit (IDP) allows you to drive a private motor vehicle overseas when accompanied by a valid UK driving licence. IDPs are valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
Most countries require a 1949 Convention IDP but for certain countries, a 1926 Convention IDP is necessary.
Both 1949 and 1926 Convention IDPs can be issued to people aged 18 and over who hold a valid full UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) driving licence, or can obtain such licences on the basis of pass certificates (within the last two years). IDPs cannot be issued to holders of UK provisional licences without the pass certificates.
Looks like you NEED the pass certificates...... Sorry
It may be easier just to take your test, or do Direct Access and buy a Bike............
