Low contrast here; thought it might be 41-2548 but wouldn't that have a wavy line where the OD/NG meet?

I see 41-2448? - not sure of the last numbers but definitely double 4 in the middle.
This might be a B-17F, 41-24455 Old Baldy

I think it's a B-17E and, while it's impossible to be sure at this point, I think it's one of the handful that were originally intended for the RAF, but ended up with the 19th Bomb Group (and later the 43rd) in Australia.
I won't personally be bidding on that photo, but I know people who will be, and I've been assured that if they get it, they'll share.
