AN-12 identity

At least once a week, sometimes more, a loud, droning aircraft transits the London TMA usually WNW towards ESE, perhaps no more than 20,00ft. It's not the ex-wife, or a C-160 Transall or a Hercules. It has 4 engines and from what i have been able to see it has a white body and blue/navy engine cowlings. This has led me to think it is the Bulgarian registered AN-12 of Bright Aviation Services doing military uplifts from the UK to the sandy climes. Anyone know if i'm correct in my assumptions ?
