Also playing RUb1.43 and SHCdr 1.43.
Time is January 1940, I have been just sunk in a foolish surface action with a East-bound convoy, North-West of Ireland. Escort was composed of two Flower-class corvettes and an auxiliary cruiser imbedded into the convoy (and which was the cause of my boat's loss).
I'm quite sure there were no other escorts, because I made three successive approaches, the last one on the surface.
On the very first patrol of this short career, September 39, I bumped against a covoy whose escort included an armed trawler.
So I am quite confident that different escort posses are indeed modelled.
