Hi NatterGood to hear from you, hope you are well.
I was wondering, how are the three batteries covers fixes to the body of the tube? I had no close pictures of this, and could not work this out.
I don't remember if you got this already, or even if it's useful, but I found some photos with measurements - mainly from the G7a(TI) / T1 mod 1 torpedo:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38692668/TP-measurements.pdf

In this opening a small nozzle waf fitted, supposedly catching seawater for cooling the propeller-crossdrive. It's not unlikely this also was a feature of the woolwich-tail on the early G7e as well.In this case it would obviously be an old type fin mounted on a new torpedo, lacking the piping going to the crossdrive.I have attached a couple of photos showing this feature on a G7a:
