USS Intrepid Hellcat Identity

Does anyone know the identity of the F6F that was apparently on display aboard Intrepid some years ago? It seems to be a bit of an orphan on the Registry.

With a little interweb digging, I came up with this from September 2003 (bonus Helldiver replica included):

As for its current disposition, I haven't kept track of it past this old WIX thread:
