Looks like this civil version will have the full 19 cockpit windows. Only 15 on the earlier version.
Lockheed Martin Rolls Out First LM-100J Super Hercules Commercial Freighter - Feb 9, 2017
"MARIETTA, Ga., Feb. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) today officially introduced the world to the latest member of the C-130J Super Hercules family: the LM-100J commercial freighter.
Employees who designed and built the aircraft celebrated this new Super Hercules with a traditional "rollout" ceremony held at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics facility located here. Team members walked this LM-100J out of the building that is home to the Super Hercules production line. The next stop for this milestone Super Hercules is the flightline, where it will prepare for its first flight this spring.
Lockheed Martin announced its intent to manufacture and market the LM-100J in February 2014. Lockheed Martin has filed for an FAA civil type certificate update and this first LM-100J will participate in flight test activity to support this process.
"Today's rollout not only marks another accomplishment for Super Hercules, but it also reflects the aircraft's capability to evolve to meet customer requirements. The LM-100J program has exceeded all expectations in moving from an idea to a reality," said George Shultz, vice president and general manager, Air Mobility & Maritime Missions at Lockheed Martin. "We are at this point thanks to hard work and dedication of Lockheed Martin employees and suppliers, who have literally designed and built this new chapter of Super Hercules operations. The FAA has been an essential partner in this aircraft's production and we look forward to continuing to work together as we move into the LM-100J's critical flight test phase. "
The LM-100J incorporates technological developments and improvements that result from years of military C-130J operational experience, including more than 1.5 million flight hours achieved by operators in 16 nations. This experience and advancement translates to an aircraft that will deliver reliable service in a multi-role platform for decades to come. The LM-100J is the ninth production version of the Super Hercules aircraft and its commercial capabilities have the distinction of being the 17th different mission capability supported by the C-130J.
Like its multi-tasking military counterpart, the LM-100J will support a variety of tasks, including: oversized cargo transport; oil dispersion/aerial spray; oil and gas exploration; mining logistics operations; aerial fire fighting; aerial delivery; medevac/air ambulance; humanitarian relief operations; personnel transport; austere field operations; and search and rescue.
The LM-100J is the updated version of the L-100 Hercules, which was built by Lockheed Martin from 1964-1992. More than 100 L-100s were delivered to both global commercial and government operators, supporting cargo delivery requirements in almost every operating environment in the world.

It's good to that Lockheed has continued the tradition of referring it to an L-100, despite the fact that it's model designation is L382. That way, long after the old L382's are parked, we can still get asked what the difference is between an L-100 and L382 is. (sigh ... nothing) or listen to the ill informed tell us that the L 100 is the "stretched version" (sigh...no, it isn't).

I always thought it would make the ultimate flying RV ( or caravan). Short rough field performance, room to haul all your off road toys. If I had an unlimited budget I'd order one...
The 382J has been a long time coming - it was certtificated in November 1998 !

Oh yeah? No foolin'? Maybe you could explain why the L-382 type rating on my pilot license is printed "L-382". You should probably forward your concerns to the FAA too. No doubt they will be grateful for your insight.
It might equally say, for example, "B-747" - that doesn't mean Boeing have started prefixing their types with "B".

Well, I can tell you with a fair level of confidence that a whole bunch of people who are actually involved in the operation of said aircraft refer to same as the L382, and print it that way in the manuals, etc. If you wish to insist that is incorrect, I suppose that is your prerogative.

....and there you were, worried that there might not be anything to debate in the L-1(xx)
the world put to rights in under a dozen posts.
...And on a Sunday morning.

The model as defined in the FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet is "382".
