I have to say I have seen a such one and red a discussion in the web. But no clear answer there. It is quite difficult to state if it was made of wood or steel. Actually if it would be of the wood it wasn't the armour protection. So it could be a mud scraper rather. Unless it was the antimagnetic screen. But if it would be of steel it could be the addtional armour. Its size may suggest the additional armour protection of the hull but not as suggested of the tracks and wheels. However this can't be excluded either. The answer may be found in the " Illustrated History of the Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 202" as there is a picture showing the kind of the additional protection.

U-47 (Kptlt. Günther Prien): one of the most famous emblems of the war. Oblt. Engelbert Endrass, the IWO, painted the emblem on the way back from Scapa Flow in October 1939. The image was based on one in a comic book the crew had on board. The emblem was adopted by the 7th Flotilla in St. Nazaire and was used on many boats. It was sufficiently complex that a template was used to apply it to the other boats. The Most Popular Emblems - German U-boat Emblems of WWII - Kriegsmarine - uboat.net
