Looking for info on an African DC-8-50

I don't know if the Tattle Lounge is the right place to ask, but I can't find a better category in the forum to ask my question, so here it goes:

About 4 weeks ago I arrived in Windhoek airport, Namibia. The platform was completely empty except for an Air Namibia A340 and... a cargo DC-8-50 (50-something). I didn't have a camera at hand and after coming out of the terminal there was no way to make a photo as it was blocked by the buildings. But, I'm still curious about what I saw, perhaps someone will have an I idea which plane this is. There aren't that many active DC-8-50's anymore, so I hope someone can help.
Details: It had an african registration 3*-*** or 9*-*** and the titles said something like Equatorial Guinea Cargo. So I guess the registration was something like 3C-***. It was quite nicely painted with a white top and a maroon red belly. Google hasn't given me anything so far.

Thanks in advance,
Ed

Can't find any pictures online yet, the latest picture I found is from last year and if definitely doesn't look like that anymore.

Thanks!
