According to Wike,
"MD-17: Proposed variant for civilian operators, later redesignated as
BC-17 after 1997 (Boeing) merger."
"MD-17 received FAA Certification 9 June 2007."
According to Flight Global 14 March 2013,
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has approved full civil certification for the Airbus Military A400M tactical transport, edging the type closer to its entry into service in mid-2013.
So, when any of the Military versions are retired, civil tankers and transports might easily pop-up with civil registration.
