According to Wikipedia:
Type VIIA:
2 x MAN AG, 6 cylinder 4-stroke M6V 40/46 diesel engines
Types VIIB to VIIC/40:
2 x supercharged MAN, 6-cylinder 4-stroke M6V 40/46 or 2 x supercharged Germaniawerft 6-cylinder 4-stroke F46 diesel engines
Types IXA to IXC/40:
2 x supercharged MAN, 9-cylinder M9V 40/46 diesel engines
As long as the the latter (9-cyl) engine had its valves covered, and we can recycle the 6-cylinder diesels featured in stock U-boat interiors as additional engine for the IXD2, we should be okay
