Don't know where you got this picture from but it's not right. The top image is a 747-400 based on the stretch of the upper fuselage or it appears to be.

It is the original first B747. Look carefully, the upper deck is not stretched. It is correct.

This is B747-121. The very first B747. Check the color scheme. It was, back then, known as RA001. It was used as a test bed by Boeing for many years and then gifted to The Museum of Flight. https://www.museumofflight.org/aircraft/boeing-747-121

Color scheme.....check
Shortened upper deck.....check
Images in #1789 both from Boeing Aircraft, Seattle.....check
Are images correct......yes

The A10 was designed so that if it did a wheels up landing, that it wouldn't suffer a lot of damage. The main wheels don't tuck all the way up into the fuselage so there is still some wheel left that hits the ground and keeps a lot of the undercarriage from getting damaged. That's also the reason the engines are mounted high. No damage in a wheels up landing.
