Interesting photo which shows that the registration PH-AJU was painted on the aircraft before it departed to Europe. Correct c/n 1317 Stig

Given the date of February 27, 1971, the airline (KLM), and the type of aircraft (Boeing 747), the identity of this aircraft is certainly PH-BUA, a Boeing 747-206B (c/n 19922/96) named "The Mississippi" by KLM. Delivered to KLM in January 1971 (KLM's first 747), this aircraft would continue in service with KLM until September 1989, when it was sold to America West Airlines (AWA) and operated as N531AW. The aircraft would eventually be scrapped in Kingman, Arizona, USA, in February 1996.

The PH-BUA was the first 747 from KLM flying to Australia. I joined this flight from Amsterdam via Zurich, Beirut, Bangkok, Singapore to Sydney.

This isn't cn 1486, but cn 1317. It was delivered to KLM and went on to win the handicap section of the London Melbourne race in October 1934. It tragically crashed a few months later on December 20th 1934 near Rutbah (in present day Irak). www.hdekker.info/Nieuwe%20map/1934.htm#20.12.1934
