Just reviewed this entire thread, and I'm going to base my final guess on something Joe E Brown contributed:

Just seeing this photo for the first time. Not sure if this has been determined here but number 5 is Nicky Palermo and the event is probably the plumber's picnic that he hosted back in those days. I believe one of his daughters married an Accardo. He was also father-in-law to Frankie DeLegge Sr. Palermo ran a burglery crew out of Melrose Park. A very reliable source told me that at one point JB was talked out of whacking Palermo. Don't know what Nicky did to piss Tony off.
I think that the context of the photo is very important, and that it's more likely that not that not just high-ranking guys were present. Thus the argument that so-and-so wouldn't dream of being in the presence of so-and-so means a little less to me.
My final guess, dammit:
1. Amato 2. Accardo 3. Potenza 4. Glimco (doubtful, but a recent hunch) 5. Palermo 6. Centracchio 7. Gianola 8. Adduci 9. Ricca (based on something Fosco mentioned to me, and that I believe #10 is...) 10. Mad Sam
