You will get the standard long haul C product, angled lie flat. You are very unlikely to get a 747 with the old recliner configuration, since there aren't that many left, and they do not appear on the FRA route. As to the exact version, 74R or 74N, there will be little difference since you are seated in C rather than F.

Not really. We just follow Flightradar and see when they stop flying. That is usually an indication that they|re in for some sort of maintenance. And that usually means they retrofit the cabin in the same time. Usually only, as sometimes only the maintenance is done. Let's watch and see.
