RE: B747-400ER first pic!
The aircraft in the photo that Kabir T linked to and the one that is being referred to in the magazine, is one and the same.
N747ER ( the prototype ), which was earlier seen on the production line with the banner, will be delivered to Qantas as VH-OEE when the flight testing programme ( which began on 31st July ) is complete.
The first aircraft physically delivered to Qantas will be the second one off the production line for the airline, that will become VH-OEF.
VH-OEE will be delivered to Qantas a few weeks later, once the test equipment has been removed from the aircraft, and the interior reconfigured.

Sorry to tell you this buddy but Air International’s latest issue (For me anyway- the June 2002) has a pic of the first 744ER in build and seen clearly on it’s fuselage is a banner which reads:
“Fifty Second Boeing 747 for QANTAS”
QAS being the the first customer for the ER and all that, but nice shot of the prototype though!
