Were they leased from Pan Am, perhaps?
Leased from and returned to United at the end of the lease.
After a little online research, looks like they were not leased, five B-747-132's were delivered new from Boeing directly to Delta.

None were ever owned or operated by United or Pan Am as far as I can tell, not sure where we got that idea.

See:

Of course, with the NWA 'merger', Delta now operates all of the major aircraft types in AF livery except the A340 and A380, right?

I stand corrected. Those were DC10's not 747's. Should'a known better!
