Similar, yes, but not quite. My drawings are not quite detailed enough to show for sure.
I can see a similar rod linkage to the respective tiller arms located in dive tanks 1 resp. 5 from inside just under the torp tubes, but the hydraulic pistons are missing and replaced by a boxlike object with rounded edges. Appears to me that it means an electic motor turning a spindlescrew thru a stuffing box, instead of hydr. piston. Rgds, RB
