Boeing's Boner - B-29 serial number?

Recently, Ebay had an auction of a B-29 named Boeing's Boner. The picture has a great nose insignia of a head-on B-29 with two engines feathered and a half lowered undercarriage. By enlarging the picture, I can make out the serial number 44-701xx, but the last two numbers are difficult to discern. Does anyone know the serial number? It's not in Mann's B-29, just the name.

Seems to be a couple s/n's associated with that name.

Kaki-- you may be able to see this more clearly; last number may be 5 ?
This is the 29BG area on N. Field, Guam.
There were several more as Revi says but probably had other names at various times.

Re: Boeing's Boner - B-29 serial number?

I think this is 44-70105 later re-named "City of Hollywood" when the 314BW adopted a Wing insignia of a USA map with city names attached; the previous "Hollywood" was 42-94013 formerly "Boeing's Boner" lost May 14.
Both were 29BG on Guam (Square "O"). Just my thought.
