  That's actually not that hard. The LUN numbers map through 1:1 to the guest OS. So the external LUN #1 is the internal LUN #1, etc...

However, you do have a point -- the disk WWN or GUID or something properly unique ought be available via the Portal or the ARM REST API! That's far easier to automate robustly.
