Correct. Actually, the modification on the -330F is to move the attachment point lower. That allows them to use the same nose gear parts as the PAX version.

The 767-400ER also has longer gear and uses the 777 wheels on the mains. Then there are the can issues with the 767.

In any case, we should know soon. Then we just have to wait for them to change their minds a few times.
