Anyway, many of those photos are clearly duplicates of images posted on flickr in the past, down to the same image metadata, but they have different flickr IDs. Especially with images that are a few years old and have been posted many places it can be a challenge to track down if a picture is an original by that photographer or a repost. Any suggestions on how to do this?

A) Most (but perhaps not all) back up now, with some additions in January
B) If the purely numerical portion of the flickr filename is lower in one case, it's older than one with higher-number filename (though of course, a third one with an even-lower-number filename may have existed and subsequently been deleted or made private)
C) The one with biggest size (assuming it hasn't been blown up a la what was once called "digital zoom" - if that's been done, quality will be significantly worse in the larger versions) is usually older
