These photos are screaming that they are post WWII. The style of clothing (mixed uniforms and civilian overcoats), stripped of guns, etc...
Several clues to her identity: I can see on one of the shots, Square-J (390th BG) and the id letter P. This is also an OD/G ship with repaired nose damage
Only two B-17's with that name in Osborne, neither fit

Could this be "42-31974" "Bomb Boogie"? She survived the war and was brought home to the US. Noted as at Kingman in 45. A war memorial maybe? She has the same type of nose art as "belle of the brawl". Or at least one of them.
Re: Round Tripper
Pretty sure when Bomb Boogie came home she was id: G
The photos I have of her also do not show a bare metal nose
