Note the upper rudder on the deck

you know that these vessels are a pig to turn so I would assume they would put a rudder wherever they could, look at the Russian vessels i.e Typhoon and Kursk

Control surfaces forward of the prop, hydrodynamically cleaner, but response would have been much poorer than the majority of subs of that era where the control surfaces were usually mounted aft of the prop and thus within the wash.
