It appears that it was first registered with Finnair in 1986 and then Sasmat
Holdings, TAT, Cimber Air, TAT again, Air Liberte, Air Atlantique and then
had been stored by Aer Arann in December 2007 - I don't know when it
returned to service. I'm not sure there is any military history but you
could be correct.

Might be a former military version of the aircraft. From the pics I found,
the military versions had this 'hatch/patch' located here.
