Question,  What is the best way to recreate the three shell holes in the side of the conning tower?

Please note comments from Dougie.   He really is the recognized expert on U-Boat schemes.

Remember that each photo will show a different tone due to film quality, reproduction method, lighting, weathering etc. Wet surfaces will also appear darker. The rocket biz site is the best source of information. Another factor was that each color batch could be slightly different even within the same manufacturers, resulting in two boats painted with the same color but one being lighter or darker in appearance.
