Identify Bell Canada Pay Phone location via "TAG" Number...?

After a lengthy search, I finally got myself a working (well, kinda, I posted separately about that!) Bell Canada Centurion pay phone.

I noticed there is a paper sticker inside with "TAG No. 177355". It is located on top of the coin return/collection bin.

I'm wondering what this tag is for, perhaps an inventory/ID number, and is it possible to track exactly where this phone may have been installed, from this number?

You never know, unless you ask. Perhaps somebody, somewhere, has a stockpiled archive of old Bell Canada records/inventories, etc.

Thank you.

And yes I'm new, and yes, you might laugh. However, for context...I've been researching my Grandfather's (In-Law) WW II RAF/POW history, and have been tracking him across 7 countries and 18,000+ km's! It's astonishing what information is attainable, *IF* you just know where to look. Hence, my question...
