Hi,
On the photos of the U-505 conning tower there is visible Wanze Runddipol, as you have noticed.
She was not equipped with Hohentwiel radar (FuMO 61), but FuMO 30 radar set only.
See this page:

Why both? "Wanze" was passive device - it was designed to detect enemy radar emissions. FuMO 30
was active device - pure radar.
