I am not sure how long ago the image posted was first attributed to being a ca. 1846 daguerrotype of the Knickerbockers (with Cartwright back row center) but it was described as such on page five in the 1994 book
Baseball: An Illustrated History by Ward and Burns (this was the book published as an accompaniment to the Ken Burns documentary).
It is unclear who first identified the photo and whether they used photo matching to another known Cartwright photo or whether they had other information about the photo (e.g., family provenance, original documentation, etc.).
Any other photo IDs of Cartwright based on this image would depend on whether you accept that this is Cartwright in the first place.
I am not saying it is or it isn't, but for what it's worth, Wikipedia says the identification is disputed and cites a 2011 SABR article
