Probably some also from the A300-B4 fleet phased out in 2004-05.

What is PIA doing holding on to these engines ten years after the aircraft is phased out??

Maybe a couple of 747-367s should be retained for Saudi flights, until additional aircraft join the fleet.

Yes, I also think some of those powered PIA A300s.

Probably PIA had leased out some of those CF6-50 engines to other companies.

Who is going to buy 30-35 year old crap from PIA.

These engines should be sold to scrap dealers who can maybe melt them.

AP-BAK and AP-BAT should change to Cargo Freighter instead of passenger because they have combi but other airline still fly Cargo on GE engine

Umar744. I believe both AP-BAK and AP-BAT were scrapped in 2012/13.

Could someone confirm that is the case?

The aircraft airframe may have been 35 years old. Engines could be newer, with parts that probably have minimal hours of use. These can be used for spare.
If PAF can buy 30 year old airplanes and move them into frontline, ie Mirages. I'm sure some spare parts dealer could do the same with the engines being sold by PIA.
