Can U-boats in GWX mod carry two types of RWR at the same time: first covering VHF-band and second covering S-band or S/X-band frequencies? Was it possible in reality?

- for instance: FuMB-9 "Zypern II" (VHF) and FUMB-7 "Naxos" (S-band) using the same FuMB-3 "Bali" antenna in the 11.1943-9.1944 period.

- or maybe two separate antennas could be installed for each RWR? For example: FuMB-26 "Tunis" (S,X-band) with FuMB-24/25 "Cuba I/II" antennas and FuMB-10 "Borkum" (VHF) with FuMB-6 "Palau" or FuMB-3 "Bali" antenna in the 1944-45 period.

Yet maybe it was unnecessary because as war progressed Allies switched completely to S and X band radars abandoning older VHF-band types?
