How do I get this skin to work in GW?

I am trying to just load the stock SH3 player u-boat skin(VIIB) into my grey wolves installation because I really like the looks of it. I reinstalled SH3 for this and found the tga files for the VIIB in Data/Textures/TLowRes/Tex (interestingly they were not in TNormal/tex which is where I expected to find them....), so I take these .tga files and copy them into the equivalent grey wolves folder (tried both Tlowres\tex and Tnormal\tex). But when I load GW, the skin definitely resembles the stock skin, but it is "blurry", i.e. the rust pixels are not as well defined, and it looks like a slightly smeared painting kind of...

I suspect there is something in the GW setup which revamps the overall graphic rendering(not just new pictures), and is modifying the skin to fit it's format. Can anybody tell me how to load the skin so it just looks exactly the same as in the stock game if possible?
