No. :)

This second missile is an earlier version, the Rheintochter R I with two solid fuelled stages - a subsonic bird of not too impressive performance.

The R III was a late war supersonic development (very few were built and flown, probably none of them fully functional). Its first stage comprised of two solid fuelled engines mounted on sides of the 2nd stage, rather than behind it. The 2nd stage was to be equipped with Rheinmetall or Konrad liquid fuelled engine (version R III F) or an enlarged solid fuelled engine (R III P).
