Information from airliners.net - thanks to Richard Vandervord:

Formerly Iberia's EC-AMU, DAT sold this Convair to American Airlines in 3.77 for use on their Virgin Islands connections. Passed on to All Resorts Airlines in 11.82, stored at Carlsbad, CA in 1990 and scrapped by the end of the decade.

 

The aircraft came on the Belgian register as OO-TVG on 28 June 1972 and was re-registered to OO-VGT on 17 July 1973.
