RE: Identity of the last Mustang named "Chicago" of the 369th Fighter Squadron

Gentlemen:
Does anyone "out there" know the military serial number of the last Mustang named "Chicago" that was assigned to Lt. Arnold E. Mettel of the 369th Fighter Group?  For the record, this aircraft was acquired by the Royal Swedish Air Force (RSwAF) after World War Two.  Any assistance you can give to me will be greatly appreciated.  THANK YOU!
 
Sincerely,
John L. Dienst

    this was 44-72330 - it carried codes IV-A, IV-N and IV-M - it was sold to Sweden in 1947 and became Fv 26119; it was eventually lost in a crash when it undershot the runway, 4th December 1950
