I think you are correct; I had always understood that aircraft to be going to Kalitta. I think the "newsworthy" part is that this is the first Kalitta CMI contract on a DHL-owned 767, which is something that probably only people deeply-interested in the cargo biz would care much about.
Interestingly (to me at least), MexicanaMRO took between 3-4.5 months to do the conversions on the last several 767s, all of them for Kalitta and owned by Kalitta. (MexicanaMRO is the second 767 conversion line for IAI/Bedek.) This one, N276DH, has been there 7 months and counting, so maybe needed a little extra work on the C-check that is usually performed at time of conversion (or any number of other innocuous issues).
