If I understand right the "9" right after the 2272 means you have 1949 22nd series Packard.

Packard 0 is on-target, 2272-9 indicates a 22nd Series 1949 Super Eight touring sedan. The correct engine would be a 327 cubic inch. Only the Custom 8 would be considered a "senior". No, it is not a Golden Anniversary model, that designation applies to the 1949 23rd series cars. The "G" prefix to the motor number also indicates a 22nd series car, the prefix would be "H" for the 23rd series. Motor # in the 4XXXXX series indicates a Super Eight (327) motor.

And with it having an R9 OD, assuming that is original, I would wonder if it is one of the earlier production 22nd series which remained unsold and had been renumbered as a 49.

I was wondering about that too. But according to the late Robert Neal's book, the 2272 wasn't one of the models renumbered.
