Those below may be two additional birds or part of the previously mentioned four. Can't find any of the other two if part of the original four. Hmmmm.

"Atlas Air has acquired a pair of factory 747-400Fs that China Airlines retired from service in 2023. Jetran sold the two 2002-vintage freighters (30766 and 30767) to Atlas Air on May 10 after purchasing them earlier in 2024."
