The thrust reverser is not part of the engine but part of the nacelle. Airbus A300 B2/B4 Nacelle was adapted from one type of DC10 (the long range version if I remember correctly), designed and built by Rohr.
Therefor the 747 equiped with CF6-50 are not affected, beacuse nacelle design and manufacturer are different.
