Good shot S2A, it is Air Algerie. The first two A300-B1 prototypes were slightly smaller than the rest of production, one was soon broken up but the other was placed with Air Algerie in late 1974, their first widebody, to run a daily schedule to - Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. This was not an all-year operation but was just run for two months as part of the Hadj annual pilgrimage to nearby Mecca. The aircraft came back after two months to run holiday flights replacing a Boeing 720 at TEA of Belgium, which it did despite being an oddball unique aircraft for the next 15 years. It remained owned by Airbus for much of its life and was leased out to the operators.

Although only being with Air Algerie for two months Airbus gave it a full paint scheme. Here's a photo history of the aircraft

The Hadj takes place over a couple of months each year, and occupies a substantial fleet of both scheduled and charter operations. Despite using mainstream aircraft and chartering from western operators, all through the 1970s it was marred by a whole series of major aircraft accidents to its operations in many of the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incide...rplane_crashes
