All of them will be retrofitted with the same 2 man cockpit used in the MD-11

Will they retain the same rear boom operator's position, or are they going to the remote refueling station up in the front of the aircraft?

I didn't know any such thing existed until I went hunting the web for the KC-10 photo and came across the website kc-10.net.

I read an article there on the KDC-10 that was built for Royal Netherlands Air Force. I thought it was interesting to use IR cameras on the boom to aid in sticking in the probe.

I don't know, but I doubt it. The cockpit change is being done to give them a glass cockpit that is similar to other military transports so pilots can make an easier transition to them. It cuts labor costs by eliminating the flight engineer, and it also cuts maintenance costs by eliminating mechanical gages and replacing them with interchangeable video displays.
