Sounds like this is what RUAG officially advertises now. Could be long range cruise and slow speed with light payload at optimum alt. Don't know about possible ferry tanks in the cabin.
The german link above says RUAG wants to market it increasingly as a sensor platform.

BTW: Is there any "relief tube" installed onboard?
