I am pretty sure that all WWII U-boats had wooden decks aft of the forward torpedo tube bulkhead at the bow all the way back to the first MBT bulkhead at the stern. I haven't studied the decks of the XXI and XXIII boats yet, so not 100% sure about those.

U-505 - Type IXC- Planked deck. Took this pic myself.
