I've also noticed that some uboats had the step and others didn't. Perhaps even the railing is too high. In all the vintage pics I've seen, it appears that the people standing in the forward section are taller than the people aft. Perhaps it is the steps they had on the inner side of the bridge that show the people taller. Not quite sure. However I have read somewhere on the internet that they had to "step down" onto the aft section of the bridge.
