Did the devs really mess up this bad on the Gato?

Something I have been wondering about for a while.I have been on the USS Drum, a Gato class submarine and have seen pictures of several others and noticed that the ladder from the conning tower into the control room is between the planesmen to the side of the chart desk in the center of the control room.SH 4 depicts the ladder as being BEHIND the chart desk and diving officer.

So since I have been on a Gato and in all Gato control room photos the ladder seems to be to side not behind, wondering why the devs did this, pretty big oversight.

I have never been on a Balao so wondering if perhaps the Balao's ladder is behind and to be cheap and save time, they cut a corner and just used Balao's interior for Gato, Tambor, Gar or if the ladder was behind the chart desk in the Tambor/Gar classes and just used it for Gato/Balao.

Little things like this really tick me off.....if not on purpose they need to learn to do some research to get things right.

Anyone know about this?
