Weren't there Diesel variants of these?

[off to consult the interwebs...]

Supposedly, a couple were fitted with Junker 205s, but I'd be cautious about relying on Wiki's article about 205 two stroke opposed piston engines.

Lufthansa operates an immaculately restored JU-52 which they use for publicity. I was able to enjoy a couple of flights on it back in the '80's.
