The third (out of eight) pre-production Puma was also the last one with this distinctive nose shape. It first flew on the 2 March 1966. Now stored in the museum's reserves, it has been equipped with the self-propelled landing gear originally tested on the SA 330-06. Noteworthy is also the box-shaped sand filter on the air intakes.

The second SA 330 ever first flew on the 3 November 1965, under the registration F-ZWWO, and did the official Puma flight testing campaign by the Centre d'Essais en Vol (CEV) the following year. In 1977 it was re-engined by the CGTM (Compagnie Générale des Turbomachines, a Turboméca parent company) with Makila turbines, and flew for the first time in this configuration on the 4 June 1977. It was the first helicopter fitted with this new engine family, which would later on equip succesfully the whole Super Puma/ Caracal family.
