If a regular person asked for e, any of the 3 would be acceptable. If a person asked specifically for MDMA and received one of the other 2, they would almost certainly have no idea. While the MDE or MDA wouldn't be exactly what they asked for it would not present any large difference in subjective experience, health consequence or effects. Differences yes, but marginal.
