If they did, I'm sure FedEx has already taken them off. Or they are portable, only to be used when PC and BG fly.

Garlic crushers, not espresso makers. Doubt PC and BG will fly these two, they aren't brand new and shiney, just slightly used ex-demo models.

I thought that I had read that these were brand new AF orders right off of the assembly line that AF didn't want to take delivery of at this time.

One of them (N880FD/F-GUOA) has been flying for Air France in an all white untitled scheme. I believe N882FD/F-GUOD came directly from KPAE.

Any 777 Freighter is the long range like we have (-200 with a -300 wing).
Shorter range -200 (if ever built) will be a passenger to freighter conversion and only have a -200 wing thus the shorter range and lower lift capacity.

N880FD/F-GUOA (Ser No 32967) was the 3rd 777F but was kept at Boeing for a while as a test bird, and was actually the first to fly.

N882FD/F-GUOD (Ser No 32969) was the 4th 777F for Air France and was never put in service.
