Does anyone know if the U511 had a red anti-fouling painted lower hull when it went to Japan??

I am well aware of the long discussion threads in these forums about U-boat hull colors and the consensus that Red Anti Fouling was not used on wartime boats so do not wish to re-open that can of worms.

I am more interested to know if anyone has seen photos of this boat that would indicate it had a red lower hull as an exception to the rule?

Is anyone aware of ANY type IX or other that carried a red anti-fouling into the war as and exception to the rule?

Thanks in advance...
