Norwegian AM-11 first flight on January 30th, 2017. Local serial is 5205 so Norwegian numbers will be 15-5205 till 15-5210. Since there is a one number gap between the last USAF and the first Norwegian, this most probably means the single Italian F-35A for LRIP X is hereby (also most probably - educated guess) confirmed and will be 15-5204.
