172RG.

My thought too...if I read the tail # right it's 9453 8,0, or D
9453D is a 172RG
9453 8 and 0 are 182Q's, so it must be a D (?)

Yep, a lot of later 172RGs are N9xxxD; I used to own 9387D.

9453D is one of the last ones made.

Would it be good practice to be sure the doors are unlatched and open
a bit before touchdown in a circumstance like this? I'm concerned
about there being enough warping to bind the doors in place.

"DOORS - Unlatch prior to touchdown" is on the forced-landing no-power
checklist. I was also taught to also prop something in there (like a
book or jacket or something).
