Possible added scope after war began? One attack and the other for observations? Always good to have two scopes anywhy is one is buggered up!

The books I reference from suggest one attack and one observation but it appears there could well be the need for an authorative answer.

In all the books I have (alot) they all say that the Type IIC had a slightly bigger conning tower which allowed a second periscope to be added.
Yet all the real photos I have seen of A's and B's show two already. |
