Are you sure on this, that this is the chassis serial number C likes to get? AFAIK, show inventory gives you only the mid plane ID (same as of show c7200).
Probably easy to check: Wasn't it the case, that the physically tagged chassis serial of a e.g. a 7206VXR always starts with a 7? At least TAC claimed that last time I "falsely" reported the number retrieved from show inv ... and none of my boxes report a number starting with a 7 for show inv, but some of them I know for sure have the sticker with the 7 at the back.
