The type VIIB had numerous tower types during the war, the above configuration is most likely from 1940 to 1941, after which the towers were replaced with VIIC style towers and most of the boats allocated to training flotillas.

I think you are confused with the fact that there were VIIC,s with wirecutters. I never seen any evidence that there were ever VIIB,s with a VIIC tower.
