Close enough! THe snorkelhead of type XXI Uboat U-3503 Scuttled by Germany raised by the Swedish navy and used in 2 of their submarines: Nacken and Neptun. U wouldn't have it raised in an attack on a type XXI as the extended snorkel pipes would break above 6 knots (out of top speed of 15 knots which would cause the scopes to vibrate as well); the headaches from eardrum difficulties to crew, diesel fumes, and the engine sounds would negate the use of hydro phones. OVER 2 U! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_snorkel

ok, but what is this orifice(?) for?
The strange uneven paint or coating had me guessing.. but obviously it is not some anti-radar coating.

I've no idea and it was only the perforations that led to a snorkel.
What does this belong to?
