OK, thanks. From what I read, "Stratotanker" was an unofficial nickname.
According to Wikipedia (which I know may not necessarily be the gospel) The plane was officially called "Stratofreighter". the KC-97 designation was a tanker, the C-97 designation was a cargo plane, and the 377 designation was the civilian airliner. So the MATS version was a C-97?
