[Math] Are there $n$ groups of order $n$ for some $n>1$

finite-groupsgr.group-theory

Given a positive integer $n$, let $N(n)$ denote the number of groups of order $n$, up to isomorphism.

Question: Does $N(n)=n$ hold for some $n>1$?

I checked the OEIS-sequence https://oeis.org/A000001 as well as the squarefree numbers in the range $[2,10^6]$ and found no example. Since we have many $n$ with $N(n)<n$ and some $n$ with $N(n) \gg n$, I see no reason why $N(n)=n$ should be impossible for $n>1$.

A "near-miss" is $N(19328) = 19324$, while the only $n \leq 2000$ such that $|N(n)-n| \leq 25$ are $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$, $9$, $10$, $11$, $12$, $13$, $14$, $15$, $16$, $17$, $18$, $19$, $20$, $21$, $22$, $23$, $24$, $25$, $26$, $27$, $28$, $32$, $36$, $48$, and $72$.
