If you have some time to spare, there's only a few hundred thousand pages of ULTRA material to read through!
From brief notes I made in 1987 … The RAF Intelligence file on the Ju 290 (National Archives AIR40/177) mentions, SB+QB, W.Nr. 0152 and J4+AH, 0156 (captured in North Africa in 1943). Also on that file is USSStAFE Technical Intelligence Report A-454 (dated 26 June 1945) which refers to Ju 290 A-4 "serial no. 165."
The trouble is that capture reports are not consistent in explaining where they found the number. Sometimes they will say "painted on fin" or "from fuselage plate" but usually they don't say where it was.
