Bonsoir, Jacques,
I'm French, but, if you don't mind , I'll put my answer in English...
I think the boat you are looking for may be U-485,VII-C type, Commander KL Friedrich LUTZ,11°U-Flotille ( Bergen),which arrived in La Rochelle on 22/04/1945 and left on 29/04/1945.Scheduled destination unknown, for she surrendered in Gibraltar on 08/05/1945,following Dönitz's last orders.
As regards your second point about rubber plates coating, I've no precise idea about this specific boat, but I've read that this device has been tested as anti-asdic system previously, and cancelled due to some drawbacks, vibrations if I remember well.Certainly one of our specialists will be happy to send you more precise details.
Bonne soirée/Good evening/Guten Abend.

Jean-Noël
