I'm checking with a couple of mates re the U/D jump seats..I can't remember. They seem to think one jump seat at top of stairs with galley at rear.
But i DO remember the galley that ran from R1 to L1 along the right side of the cabin. It was the coldest area I ever worked in , and till the day the a/c was retired, they could never fix it. We wore gloves and jumpers during the long night sectors ...the further we went, the colder it got...and SYD/LAX is a looong way.

Did an Auckland--Perth--Harare flight on a QANTAS 747SP many years ago, remember it was an awful long day, only a brief stop Perth, then on again to Harare. Not a lot of pax on this leg, had three seats each for a good sleep if required.

The Pan Am crews operating the 747sp called the long galley "the Ho Chi Minh trail"
