The Old Town canoe with serial number 137295 is a 13 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, and a keel. It was built between March and May, 1943. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on May, 12th, 1943 to Fort Wayne, Indiana. The back side of this card indicates that it may have moved to Albion, Indiana by July, 1981 when there was previous request for a copy of this build record.
The Old Town canoe with serial number 187972 is a 17 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built in December, 1971. The original exterior paint color was brilliant green. It shipped on December, 18th, 1972 to Goshen, Indiana.
Scans of these build records can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images below.
These scans and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if these descriptions doesn't match the canoes. Feel free to reply here if you or your friend have any other questions.
