U-boat photo

Courtesy of this thread elsewhere on the forums, I was just watching the linked video (lots of good sub footage but some serious neo-nazi overtones).

At approximately 0:48 (and possible again at 3:25) is a sub with the same nose as the one in the lower half of Rhodes' photo.

Obviously I will bow to greater knowledge here, but I think the top one is a type IX and the bottom is a type VII.

When I first saw the pictures in the book, I notice something strange, like not being the same boat. The legend claims 2 photos of a type IXB and I looked to the bow of both boats, and couldn't see a type IX bow. Even the background is diffrent (for a sequence photos...

).
For me, both photos are from ww1 u-boats (possibly). The flag of the second could help identifying.
