How can I find the mapping between logical qubits and physical qubits in IBM Quantum Composer after running a job?

I executed a 3-qubit Grover-based QRNG circuit on IBM Quantum Composer and obtained the transpiled OpenQASM and backend calibration data. From the OpenQASM I can see the measurement mapping: measure q[2] -> c[0]; measure q[0] -> c[1]; measure q[1] -> c[2]; I also have backend calibration data containing readout error probabilities for all physical qubits (e.g., qubits 112, 113, 119, 121, 125, 127, 131, 133, 146, etc.). I would like to perform readout error mitigation (REM) using the calibration

I executed a 3-qubit Grover-based QRNG circuit on IBM Quantum Composer and obtained the transpiled OpenQASM and backend calibration data.
From the OpenQASM I can see the measurement mapping:
measure q[2] -> c[0];
measure q[0] -> c[1];
measure q[1] -> c[2];
I also have backend calibration data containing readout error probabilities for all physical qubits (e.g., qubits 112, 113, 119, 121, 125, 127, 131, 133, 146, etc.).
I would like to perform readout error mitigation (REM) using the calibration data. For that, I need to know which physical qubits correspond to the logical qubits:
q[0]
q[1]
q[2]
The topology view shows the qubits used by the transpiled circuit, but I cannot find the exact logical-to-physical mapping.
Is there a way in IBM Quantum Composer or Job Details to determine something like:
q[0] → physical qubit X
q[1] → physical qubit Y
q[2] → physical qubit Z
Can this information be extracted from the transpiled circuit, job metadata, layout information, or any other Composer view?
I am specifically trying to construct the correct readout calibration matrix for matrix-based REM.
