I don't know. Had exactly this problem a few months ago.

suppose a contact has 2 numbers and sends me a text from each saying "this is my work phone" and "this is my home phone"
i cant find a way to display the number that sent an sms, so i still dont know which is which

A brainstorm was posted a long while ago to add labels for each phone number and to have those displayed per SMS / Call - a few other suggestions out there as well as the odd bug submission.
We can only hope such a thing arrives with PR1.3 : )

Press the profile pic to bring up his contact details. The number for that text is the one highlighted in blue color..
a "message details" window like on normal phones would be welcome.

There is a Bug for this. I voted for that bug when i first got my N900, but i guess it won't help. They consider it fixed, because the highlight solution mentioned above works.
In my opinion the "solution" is not really one, since you have to know that it is that way, as this thread shows. New users will most likely not notice that. The usability is bad.
But hey, were lucky that we CAN find out at all.
