I am pretty sure they are all the old straight back. You might check if there was a Texas Taildragger conversion done I know they did 150s and I think 172s.

The Cessna 180 was the first. That had the straight back fuselage.
The Cessna 182 , think 180 too just had the nose gear added.
Some early 182's had the same fuselage as the 180, just different gear mounts.
The 175 and 185 were also from the 180 series.
The 182 went on to have many mods, the rear window was one and widening the fuselage was another.
The 180 and 185 never got the window in the rear, or the wider fuselage.
