488 Squadron´s Mosquito identification needed, please!

Good night to all!
I do have a picture of S/L John Anthony Sanderson Hall, DFC* a night-fighter ace of 488 Squadron in front of his Mosquito coded "M".
Please, could someone help me to identify his serial number? I can see on the picture that his serial number´s machine ended with_____72.
Any help would be very welcomed..
Yours sincerely
Adriano

Hall flew HK380, MM551, MM466, HV570, NT314 for his kills but I am afraid I cannot tie up anything ending with 72

Hello Chris!
I will send you the picture of himself and his Observer, as I received. I am afraid however - as you correctly put here and already verified on your DATA - that the aircraft in front of which they were pictured MUST NOT BE theirs!
Thank you so much again for your help and valuable information.
PS: I resumed flying this year...did you still fly?
Yours as ever
Adriano

The 488 use two Mosquitos with a serial ended by 72
NT272 loss on T/O at Gilze-Rijen the 16/4/45
NT372 not loss but sold to the French the 13/9/1950
Regards
Phil
