Civil registration of US military planes

Sorting part of my photo library, I came across a photograph of the Boeing B-299, progenitor of the B-17 breed. It wears both military markings and a civil registration: X-13372.
This is not uncommon, but what puzzles me is that "X". All previous civil registrations I have seen were in the "NX" range.
Can someone shed some light?
Thanks.

Chris

"X" is not a civil registration agreed by OACI.
It's "experimental" only in military designations.
