10.5/45 SK C/32 deck gun mountings UbtsLC/32 and UbtsLC/36

For years I have been undertaking research on various WWII aspects and this query comes from the need to clarify the maximum range of the 10.5cm gun with the two types of mounting.

In Campbell's book on armaments the range for this is given as 15175m (16595yds). However this is at 44 degree elevation possible with the SK C/32mountings on the Moewe and Type 39 classes of ships.

The Ubts LC/32 mountings only gave the gun an elevation of 35 degrees and the LC/36 mountings 30 degrees.

Does anyone know the range of these guns on these mountings and source reference?
