The stuff in front of the pilots on AF1 is basically the same as on a 747-300 (which isn't far removed from the 747-200).
There is a fourth flight deck position - behind and slightly to the left of the left seat pilot - that has a glass display somewhat similar to a PFD. However landing in marginal conditions, based on what the guy behind you is seeing, would be rather sporty...
The two AF1 747s are relatively young hours/cycles wise, but getting up there in calendar years (IIFC delivered in 1990 and 1991).
