U-203 is one of the boats where the book I mentioned above goes into a bit of detail about positioning etc. Unfortunately most of the other entries are pretty skimpy with some merely mentioning commissioning and sinking or scuttling dates and showing a black and white hand drawn image of the emblem.
Excerpt from Georg Hogel's U-Boat Emblems of WWII:
Quote:

Conning tower device. The coat of arms of Essen, patron city of U-203 was painted on the front of the conning tower. Below it, Kottman's device, the Olympic Rings, was painted... On the starboard side of the conning tower was a turtle.
