That sounds like some very quick reload times. The crew needs to pick the shells up from the hold, pass them up through the cunning tower (unless they open the forward hatch, which is unlikely if there is more than a breeze) and carry them forward across a slippery, moving deck. I don't believe the U-Boots had external storage compartments for AMM, but I could be mistaken. Before they can fire first round they also need to remove the muzzle protection and fit the sights.
Those timings are almost the same as what's expected from a modern 105mm towed howitzer crew.
