Hi Don,
Lothar-Gunther Buchheim's photos taken on the patrol that started October 26, 1941 the upper net cutter is not present. The photos are available in the book U-Boat War.
I found this on the internet....

For model-makers wishing to make U-96, the following details of the boat's modification may be useful -
Net cutters = NC, breakwaters=bw, wind deflector= wd
U96- 14/09/40 Commissioned NC-yes bw-yes wd-no
12/04/41-22/05/41 (patrol 4) NC-yes bw-no wd=yes
27/10/41-06/12/41 (patrol 7) NC-no bw-no wd-yes
The U-96 in the movie Das Boot has the following combination: nc-yes, bw-yes, wd-yes.
Ironically, I think the movie got it wrong...
Regatds,
