My source on the He 111, Manfred Griehl's book published as part of the
Luftwaffe Profile Series by Schiffer, says that initial production H-3s had only one gun in the ventral position and that the later H-3/R-3 added an additional ventral MG 15 or MG 131. So, it could be that what we see in the screenshot is indeed an early production H-3. The question is, when was the R-3 mod authorized?
