Not according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-3
The 3/50 was indeed a "pizza box" according to this, but Brad Spencer's
images 7A and 7B he purports these are 3/50 boards:

form-factor. Although, it's possible it uses only that "custom/private"
third connector on the VME backplane?

I *think* the 3/50 had a VME bus. As I recall, it was
basically a
single VME board mounted inside of a pizzabox case.

Is the 3/50 that much different than a 3/280?
Different bus structure as I recall. The 3/50 were workstations,
the 3/280 was big rack mounted VME (?) based system, mostly used
as file servers.
