Yes sir, it was (although the 1981 Pan Am annual report makes no mention of aircraft previously ordered by National).
And it was not just any DC10: it was a "long range DC10(-30)".
This PA annual report also makes the following interesting statement:
"Four of the airline's long range DC10-30 aircraft are being converted to charter configuration, each with 380 seats instead of the standard 286."
