VIIC/42 spec's, how do they know?

If you look around enough for the info, you might notice that everyone says the same thing reguarding the VIIC/42.

Generally speaking, it seems like a meld of IX and VII boats. Surface propulsion and range of an IX, diving/handing of an VII (only deeper), a hull is a little longer, a little wider, but looks like a VIIC/41, 2 extra torpedo's, both perisopes locate in conning tower. yada yada, etc etc.

Ok now, if none were ever built, HOW DO THEY KNOW?!

Where did the information for the C/42 come from? The orginal source?
