PIA didn't operate any Boeing 707 registered as AP-AWP. The registration of aircraft model in PIA Cargo markings should be changed to AP-AWD.
Here's photo of AP-AWD in PIA Cargo markings. The exact & correct designation for AP-AWD is Boeing 707-373C.

Boeing 707-320C were Convertible models (C = Convertible). These 707s had main deck side cargo door and could be used as full passenger aircraft, full cargo aircraft or operated in mixed configuration i.e. half cargo/half passenger. Despite the convertible option, a number of these were delivered as pure freighters. The pure freighter Boeing 707-320Cs were without cabin windows. One such pure freighter Boeing 707 operated by PIA was Boeing 707-331C (registration N15711). It was on lease from Trans World Airlines (TWA) to PIA from May 1979 to March 1980. Here's photo of N15711 in PIA markings.

Here I would also like to mention Boeing 707-320B model. It was built as passenger aircraft without main deck side cargo door. A Boeing 707-320B operated by PIA was Boeing 707-351B (AP-BAA).
