Interesting - I ran B-25C and D serials ending in 741 through Baugher and came up with five.

B-25C:
41-12741 - condemned Greenville AAB, SC Feb 17, 1943
42-64741 - to RAF as Mitchell III FV928. Crashed at Vielsham while returning from operation Dec 29, 1944

B-25D:
41-29741 - no info; maybe it's this one?
41-30741 - 30730/30754 to USN as PBJ-1D 35048/35072
43-3741 - no info
