U-455 at St. Nazaire

Hello,
I'm in search of some information as I am about to embark on a 1/35th scale diorama containing two Type VIIc's. I'd like to have U-455 as one of them and have found many images of it (all black and white). So my first question is: does anyone have pictures or artwork of the scheme or markings for that particular boat? Was it multi-toned, etc?

Secondly, I would like your expert advice on the second boat. If it was a second Type VIIc moored next to it, which U-boote could it possibly be? Or is there a chance that it could be a Flak U-boote moored next to it? Would that be too much artistic license?

I appreciate any and all input and direction. I'd like to be close to accurate.

Please feel free to contact me directly at:

Thank you,
Steve
