All -861's on paper but some of the fleet have proper crew rest areas. These tend to be used on the North America services.
The ones without these rest areas are most probably artificially weight restricted to save on the nevigation fees as they are unlikely to operate flights longer than about 8 hours and don't need the full weight envelope that the A380 can offer.
My bet is that one of the birds originally intended for the Toronto flight went tech hence the substitution and subsequent diversion.

EK A380 Influence
During October EK carried 49,306 passengers to Dubai.
This figure was 11% higher than October 09 and 0.8% higher than September.
However, taking into consideration that September was a 30 day month, the average daily figures for October were actually 2.3% down on September.

EK flight was a planned fuel stop as the aircraft used was a short range version, the ULR version that is normally used on the Toronto flight was not available, there was also a delay in the stop as the aircraft required de icing.

Manchester Airport claims world first with new eye-scanning technology

"I was Iris scanned on my arrival from Lanzarote on Monarch last thursday.
Passport in, then look at a circle. Interesting experience."
If you had to put your passport in, then it was not an Iris scanning machine but a facial recognition, or E-passport machine.
The Iris scanners just scan your eyes and don't check your passport.
