I think you will find that those are practise torpedo's. The stripes are to help the recovery ships find them as they will / should float to the surface after their run. Also He 111's didn't carry two on actual missions.

 

[Wurger]

Polikarpov Po-2s ... and UT-1.

Interesting.

An He111H-18 armed with torpedoes, circa 1943 - note the FuG200 Hohentwiel Radar.
