Strong implication in Boeing article on increasing Take Off performance by limiting the fwd CofG position that the CofG is forward of the CofP on the 767-300.

Article entitled: Alternate CG Takeoff Limits; Airliner Oct-Dec 1994; Author Martin M Wiuthington, Boeing Aerodynamic Performance Engineer. Obviously, even if the CofG is forward of the CofP then the further aft it is the less downwards force will be required from the tail - hence a performance improvement.
