AA Armament of U-566 in July, 1943

I wondered if anyone might have information as to what was the AA armament on U-566 when it left France on July 5, 1943, to plant mines at Chesapeake Bay, Virginia? The first Quadruple C/38 2 cm AA guns were just beginning to arrive at the French ports in June and July, 1943, to become installed on front boats. I wondered if U-566 might have had one installed before leaving on July 5, or if it still had only the single C/38 2 cm guns on the tower and wintergarten. Would really like to know. Also, does anyone know the name of the IIWO on U-566 for this July to September, 1943 patrol? Thanks.
