Would "Old '58'" be 41-2458 Yankee Didd'ler – Wouldn’t It Root Ya or 41-2658? Per Osborne all the other Es ending in 58 stayed stateside.
B-17E "Old 58" - which 58?

Assuming the photo is correctly dated November 1942 it has to be 41-2458 . . . 41-2658 was one of the dozen homeward-bound 93rd Squadron B-17Es that had left Australia the previous month.
