Does not have a tailband at all actually, as most AMC Tankers do nowadays.
Maybe tailband is the wrong description but I mean the 2 horizontal black stripes, that is not standard AMC right?
Well AMC decided not to apply markings on the tails of its KC-46 fleet to increase flexibility among the fleet. I have a strong feeling that the "grey fin stripes" are part of the new policy.
