What I now can remember is that they were just white lights.
As I then didn't ask about it I really don't know and I never saw them lit but maybe they could change colors for the various steps.
The panels were quite different.

Maybe I could get in contact with some older members of the veteran association of the Marine and ask if they know.
Maybe they even have some knowledge about German subs.
