Ok i believe that the grey one is a DC2 as it still has the US marking with the red circle in the centre, so its either a DC2 or a very early DC3, plus the green one with the star n bar most probably a DC3

That DC-3 at the Kissimmee airport is registered N79MA. It is owned by Missionair, Inc; a non profit missionary organization. I used to fly that bird a while ago. It was damaged severely by hurricane Charley.

You are very close, but the "grey one" is actually a B-23A Dragon bomber, based upon the B-18 Bolo bomber, which was based on the DC-2. Good eye there. Only ground level pictures show the true shape of the plane. But I think it still belongs here with the other variants.
The green one is a C-47C Skytrain.

UPDATE: plane designation changed from B-18 to B-23

When it's a C-46 like this one. The placemark for a C-46 at Oxnard, CA is included with the DC-3 collection so you can compare it. The Commemorative Air Force SoCal web page has the story its C-46.
www.wpafb.af.mil/museum
The Curtiss C-46 Commando has lines very similar to the Douglas DC-3, especially when seen from above. The one distinction visible at our resolutions is the horizontal stabilizer, which has a different shape. The DC-3 and its variants have a tail shaped more or less like this--> / | while the C-46 tail is more like this--> / \
For more about the C-46 see this web page and this one.
