Yes, among the classic 747 cargos, the TIA/Cargolux 271C were tops.
Had all the extras and options... increased weights... 2 upper/deck exits...
With Cargolux (I did 6 month there in 1992) we even carried passengers.
I recall the Mercedes management with 7 fancy cars for the DXB auto-show.
And a flight attendant serving champagne. Even to the crew... after landing.
Outstanding airplanes, outstanding operation.

Happy contrails
