Four engines? (Sorry mate, no idea) Had a look around at clamshell thrust-reversers. The ones I've seen on the net open-close in the vertical plane (top and bottom). Can't figure out the wing either. Thought the wing position would reveal as a black dot somewhere in the vertical light slit seen where the two doors/shells meet. But no.
Russian?

Evening Kitbag,
Haven't got time to delve at the moment, but I was wondering if it could be the Lockheed L-300 SuperStarLifter, the prototype only, civilian version of the C-141 ??

It is actually a C-141, Lockheed designed it with an eye on commercial freight as well as military use hence the design standards, but no one was interested. It was a very successful mil transport.

Thanks Kitbag,
Of course, that clue does point to the C-141, I misread it and thought you were after the failed commercial attempt!!
I've got to go offline for a while, so I'll declare an Open House and pick it up later if nobody else has taken the opportunity to pounce!!
My subject fared rather better, entering series production

Evening Kitbag,
Well, seeing as I said I'd be back to pick up my OH and missed the chance, I'll take Graeme's OH instead and offer a choice of inlets on something a little older!
