I'm using TestStand 1.0.3 and I have a requirement to pass the serial number to a VI from the user prompt in the Labview Operator Interface. Where can I reference this variable ?

Runstate.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber

At runtime, you can access the UUT serial number using Runstate.Root.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber. The serial number and UUTLoopIndex is a local variable of the default process model. Below is the definition for Runstate.Root. This is copied from Chapter 8 of the TestStand User Manual.
Runstate.Root:
Sequence context for the root sequence invocation. If you initiate an execution using a process model entry point, the property is the sequence context for the process model entry point. For example, if you use an entry point from the default TestStand process model, the
Root property is the sequence context of the Test UUTs or the Single Pass sequence. If you initiate an execution on a sequence without using a process model entry point, the Root property object is the sequence context for the sequence you run.
When you are editing a sequence, the expression browser does not display the sub-properties of Runstate.Root because these properties are filled in at runtime. They are dynamic properties.
