Yeah, the wings are too far back for it to be a 707

The engines were probably removed so they could be used as spare parts. I couldn't even tell for certain if it had a T tail or not but I think it did. There are a lot of different airliner designs that used rear engines (2, 3, or even 4) with a T tail. Here are just a few:

Boeing 727
