Historically "J**" was the most common term used in Allied propaganda, but in today's world the term "J**" is simply an abbreviated form of Japan or Japanese, to be polite using a J instead of j IMHO. Much like the term Brit is extremely popular as a modern way to describe British ie. Brit-Pop, BRIT awards. Although I don't recommend calling Germans germs even with a capital G.....LOL
There may be someone on J-aircraft who has an idea if the fitted gun serials was recorded on each plane, I have never heard of any plane doing it but I assume there must be given your question?

When I was stationed at a joint USAF/JSDAF base, Yamada Camp, in the mid 60's, we were warned not to use the phrase , and when someone made the mistake and did use it, the reaction from the Japanese wasn't good.
They certainly didn't see it just as a abbreviation, they saw it as a insult, at that time.
