For nearly an hour, while this aircraft was within range of my QTH, this
message was transmitted numerous times.  (I'll do a count if anyone
really wants to know).  Note that on the very last one there is an O
missing off the "reg", and the Acars mode changed from 2 to v.

I assume it never received an acknowledgement as the reg was wrong. 
OO-OOO was a Falcon 20C, c/n 56, last known to be registered as N388AJ.

Would anyone know what aircraft this actually was?

Cheers,

Jacob
