At around 2:40 in the first video they show how they transferred torpedoes. They attached buoys for support at the front and the back of the torpedo and roped them from one boat to the other. Apparently they could mount a small crane close to the tower of the boat to pull them out of the sea. I assume the triggers were removed for that operation.

Don't know, but I bet the triggers weren't even attached until a torpedo was going into a tube.
