In measure 3 (and 28) the chord in the upper strings is B-D-F-A. Trilling C-D would match with the A and B in the chord.
But in the 2016 Kalmus edition of the part by Clinton Nieweg and Clark McAlister a flat is explicitly indicated. Assuming Nieweg and McAlister had evidence for adding the flat, I guess it should be a half-step.
Now that I check, oddly enough in the much older (undated) Kalmus edition, which is famously littered with errata, neither the score or the part shows a flat sign in bar 3, but both have the flat in bar 28. The same is true in the 1989 score edited only by McAlister.
Of course, bar 28 is in a different part of the passage - it's in the first statement of the motive at bar 3, but it's the second statement at bar 28 (the whole section is a minor third lower). The harmony looks the same, but a really close analysis might show there was actually a reason why Stravinsky might have meant for the two trills to be different.
