Using Type VIIC tower models with Type VIIB?

I have always found it annoying that you can't use Type VIIC tower models on Type VIIB, instead, the only different tower model choise for Type VIIB skippers later on is the ridiculous "two towers" configuration.

There is no real life technical limitation which would prevent Type VIIB U-boats from being equipped with later Type VIIC tower configurations, so I ask you; is there a mod which would allow me to use Type VIIC tower models on Type VIIB?

Here is a picture showing U-73 (the longest serving front boat of Type VIIB, sunk on 16 December, 1943) and U-561 in port in late 1942 -notice the tower. As you can see, Type VIIBs towers were upgraded.

Type VIIB is a fine boat I do not want to replace it just because heavier flak is good to have later on, but can't be equipped on Type VIIB because of game's current limitations.
