The first two commands do exactly the same thing because the destination has a single colon, indicating rsync over a remote shell, and the default remote shell is ssh. All "-e ssh" does in this situation is explicitly restate the default. (If the source or destination is an rsync daemon, "-e ssh" does make a difference: it indicates a single-use daemon invoked over ssh.)
