Can any of the members assist in finding out the identity of this USMC Sea Knight seen at Dulles Airport in June 1972 ?

HELIS data:
1970-01-29
BV-107M, c/n 2580, ff?
accepted BuWepsRep, FR, Morton, PA as CH-46F 157681 29Jan70
xfer HMX-1, MX-18, 10Mar70
conv CH-46E unk
xfer NADEP Cherry Point 05May07
noted HMX-1, MX-19, Nov07
Photo shows as MX-19 in YR 1972.
Helis data; the way I read it shows; as MX-18 in 1970 and became MX-19 in 2007 !?
Am I reading it wrong, or is some data misplaced on timeline or missing?
Regards
John

This airframe was also marked at one time, as MX-19
Seems closer on timeline to 1972 (your photo)
