As there are no blanks in the bleed / auxilliary intake doors, I can't help but assume the intake blanks are there to prevent one noticing the lack of engine.
Still it must make a great site for local wildlife, probably everything from Blackbirds to Badgers holed up inside there !
At least the noseleg seems pressurised, unless that's due to reduced weight...
