Sub-type of Bücker Bü 181, W.Nr. 5003-5005?

These three Bü 181s were handed over to Hungary in November 1942. What was their sub-type? 'Cäsar'?
Interestingly, I don't have in my Lw DB any Bücker Werknummer in the 5XXX row...

If there is a source that gives the total number of Bü 181s (actually, all Bücker types) handed over to Hungary, I'd be very grateful. I counted at least 26 Bü 181s in MKHL service.

In the BA/MA reference RL 2 III/647 deliveries up to 31.12.1944:
Hungary Bü 181 total 70 aircraft. However, only 23 were delivered with 5 in August 1944 and 18 in September 1944. The aircraft were taken from the joint German-Hungarian aircraft production programme.
The only other deliveries of this aircraft was the three you mentioned in November 1942. None were delivered during 1943.
