I agree that in most of the pictures we see a white or silver scope tube. These pictures are taken from museum, new ships and propaganda movies where all had to be clean and nice, with all parts of the sub painted... like is in SH. I have my doubts that in the real life things were the same and the scope tube it looks the same after months of use. It rather will look like this one from U-2540:



Actually this is what I would expect from an interior mod. Make the sub to finally look like a warship, not like a museum piece as it is in the stock.
