Ju 52/3mg5e Military version, powered by three 619 kW (830 hp) BMW132T radials. It could be fitted with interchangeable floats, skis and wheel landing gear.

Ju 52/3mg10e Similar to the Ju 52/3mg9e, but it could be fitted with floats or wheels.

No, this is not machine gun (/3 mg),
break this correct as Ju 52/3m g3e (three motor, g = Gustav basic version, 3rd variant of Gustav version, e for BMW 132 engines).

Basically the g3e was the dedicated Bomber version (1933/34, for deliver to Luftwaffe 1935 onvards), but most versions onvards (mostly transports of various spezialized marks)
could be fitted out with either skis, wheels or floats. Add "/See" or "(See)" for floatplane!

dedicated Junkers fans can further enhance this list if they want
