The original designs hull color suggests Italian to me. As does the rangefinder on the later design.

Also this sub has two banks of torpedoes tubes on the upper hull. I seem to recall a few subs had that, but it wasn't all that practical, since it seems more like a surface launched torpedo and not re-loadable (easily). More for finishing off prey without needed to use the deck gun, or your usual torpedoes.

Yeah, the "wedding cake" rangefinder is very distinctive. On the other hand, whoever built it might have chosen the design simply because it creates less drag under the water. But that's only a guess.

I remember the Project 50 Tauchschiff having something similar to that "broadside" torpedo design.
