Looks to be an attachment point for the outerwing leading edge fairing, there are numorous attaching pins, top and bottom, that hold the leadind edge on.

Does anyone have taken the place which is the part?
I live in Poland, and unfortunately I do not have access to the B-17 :-(

Is not anyone able to help me? The element is quite specific and probably it can be easily identified.

Thank you very much for your response. I think this is the part.
I will seek the more accurate picture so you could see the whole part.
