Well according to the parts manual the Federal Stock Number or FSN is 2540-200-1963. I have no clue as to the NSN but maybe this will help.

K8icu, yes it does. I found a packaged one and was pretty sure it was for an M37. Didn't want to open it up. Thanks. FSN matched.

FSN's (Federal Stock Numbers) were used from the early 50's thru the 1975 or so then uncle switched to the NSN's (National Stock Number) also often referred to as the (NATO Stock Number) It added two more digits after the first 4 digits that ID'd the country of origin for the part. So the NSN for the above number if made here in the US would be 2540-00-200-1963 or 2540-01-200-1963.
There's a very elaborate explanation hear for the folks to read:
