Good eye! but the expression "southest of Cape Farwell" applies to a broad area up to 500 nautical miles by participants of the battles. In the case of the sub sunk by my particular merchant: "Northern Atlantic south-east Cape Farewell, Greenland, in position.. ..N .. ..W by 120 Squadron" Uboat.Net is hazy on this sort of stuff. A careful review of the sinking locations of the Uboat's two other sinkings that night puts it's own loss location SSE of Cape Farewell: "500 nautical miles (930 km) south east of Cape Farewell,"

Must be a year earlier then.
U-132. Sunk on 4 November 1942 in the North Atlantic south-east of Cape Farewell, in approx. position 55.38N, 39.52W, when the British ammunition ship Hatimura blew up in a huge explosion. U-132 had torpedoed this ship earlier and was probably waiting nearby for her to sink when caught in the lethal radius of the explosion.

Originally classified as a light cruiser but finished as a heavy cruiser. It sort of splits the difference.
