OK something is wrong here. In the scene where Goldfinger is going to Europe by airplane and James Bond is waiting at the airport, there is definitely a jumbo jet with that big lump in front.

Is there another jumbo which looks like that?

Goldfinger plane was DC-4 version. Piston engines and props.

Yes it was the cargo plane that transported Goldfinger's Rolls Royce. An ATL 98 Carvair. It had a bulbous front like a 747 but was a prop rather than a jet like the 747 which was still a few years in the future at the time of Goldfinger.
