Anyone got any details of these two former Conair (OY-) DC-7's and SAS (SE-) Convair 440 seen at Copenhagen in August 1985?

Apparently the Convair 440 is SE-BSS and the DC-7 on the right is OY-DMT (ex Conair). I am unsure about the DC-7 on the left but think it could be ex SAS. Photos taken in August 1985.

Problem solved. A close up inspection of the Douglas on the left reveals the inscription 'SCAN CHURCH AID'. This was carried by a Sterling DC-6B OY-BAV.

In relation to this original request for information, I have checked my log for Copenhagen on 27.7.85 and have reference to the remains of a former SAS DC-7C, OY-KNB, also being present. This is substantiated by a photo of this aircraft at Copenhagen which has been published elsewhere, captioned as being taken during August 1985. In addition, I would be interested to know please if the CV-440 mentioned in this post was situated close to the other aircraft, as I have no record of seeing it. Thank you.
