Windows 3.1 was Win16.  Windows 95 and Windows NT (3.5 and 4) were
Win32 and were NT.  It was around Windows 3.11 that Microsoft threw in
Win32s, which was apparently a deliberate move to stop Windows 3.1
working inside OS/2's virtualisation system (where Windows ran better
than it did outside of OS/2).

Even though Microsoft dropped the NT naming from Windows 2000 and XP,
they were still NT beneath the branding.
