The long-range rating was and is a pure German issue. Anyone holding a JAR-ATPL has this rating included in the licence.
In the 1970s Lufthansa was in need of pilots and the influence used lead to a lot of ATPLs without this rating. Lufthansa pilots always had the rating included as part of the extensive training programme, it was basically a special ATPL for pilots operating mainly in Europe, the limitation was that on passenger flights (only!!!) outside Europe a maximum great circle distance of 500 NM was allowed.
Most non-LH pilots took the 4 weeks course and the exams only after a new job dictated this.
So, to answer your question, only in a German ATPL (not the JAR issue) the long-range may be missing.
