Yes, as I said earlier, if you can evidence 500 hours multi-crew from the military, that fulfils the MCC requirements. It used to be that you would get an "MCC exemption" letter from the CAA (I have one somewhere). With EASA, the onus has been transferred to the ATO/TRTO to check you have the requisite experience or MCC qualification before you start the MP type rating.
Trust me - I have been through this a number of times over the last few years as a TRI with trainees straight from the military going into SAR or offshore jobs. This is the way it works with the CAA.
