Purely speculation... ... to protect against accidental docking damage. Docking with what? Good question.

The paint scheme on the hatches is my best clue. Never seen that on an operational Golf before.

The sonar sticking up from the bow rules out the sub coming up under something to dock, so something is coming down to the sub.

My tupence...
