Re the height of the nose with tail-wheel down, the deck angle does look to be a bit steeper than the DC-3, and the fuselage length is over 10% greater. To obtain enough AoA to become airborne on short fields (flapless) **, the respective riggers' angles of incidence would also come into the equation.
In Flybiker's photo, the apparent nose height may be exaggerated, because the men are standing further from the camera than is the nose.
On a different matter, the YouTube
video shows a very different tail-fin assembly from all the photos posted above.
** [EDIT] ...and to avoid striking the tail-wheel first on a short-field (slow) landing...
