747 Stall Characteristics

I have some info that states that the 747 pitches nose down at the stall which I am trying to confirm or deny. Being a swept wing, I would expect that with the air pooling at the tips (from spanwise flow) and the boundary layer losing energy as a result, that the tips will stall first and the CoP will move inward (thus forward on a swept wing) causing a pitch up to occur. So which is right?

Secondly, does the 747 have a stick pusher as well as a stick shaker?
