Err, still no.


The standard A330 has a pronounced nose down attitude which I understand is a problem for Cargo loading.


The -F version has a different nose wheel arrangement and modification (with resultant fairing) allowing for a basically level fuselage while on the ground by 'elevating the nose'



If you measure the height of the fuselage at, for example the forward door on the freighter then it is only logical that it would be higher than the passenger version, after all that was the intent of the modification.



I can see that the tail height of the Cargo version will be lower than the passenger version but that was not what was implied.
