I have seen an artist's impression from the '60s of a Concorde in RAF colours. As you say, by the time Concorde became available the high altitude bomber role had gone due to improvements in anti-aircraft missile performance.

Concorde would have been horredously inefficient at low level with a very short range, it isn't big enough to use as a military transport, so it's difficult to envisage a military role for it.
