Possible U-boat typ XXI and wich ?

Hello,

I've had find this picture on ebay.de : https://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Deut-U-Boo ... SwUflbqh8d

I think this is a typ XXI, but wich, and what crew is showing ?
This is a canvas covering on the head of the sky periscope ?
I have a doubt about the color of the periscopes. It's too light. Maybe the periscopes were painted in yellow during training in the Baltic sea ?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Lionfish.

Hi, No takers on this one?
I blew up the picture and the badge on the commanders hat seems to be a polar bear-the head and shoulders that is going from right to left.

I cannot see that it resembles anything else.

regards MH.

Hi,
It certainly looked like a XXI. They carried a yellow stripe on the tower while training. Not sure about the periscope.
Regards,
Rand

Hello,
On the book of George Högel " U-boat emblems of World War 2 1939-1945" we have U 3015 and also U 872 with the same commander : Peter-Ottmar Grau.

Best regards,
Lionfish.
