The SG26..or maybe not..

[PT Dockyard]

Here is a shot seen about 30 years ago that is said to be the former French Minesweeper Granit in German service as SG26.

When compared to drawings an photos of the Granit, however, it is hard to reconcile them as the same ship:

I have been told the Granit was not the SG26. Can anyone identify the first picture?

Vom SchlPr.11:
Bild müßte SG 25 oder M 6060 zeigen. Ex LES EPARGES. Ein Bild hier im Anhang aus der Sammlung Martin Maass zum Vergleich.
Besten Tag

Confirmation, it's the former "Les Eparges", the only sloop of the "Tahure"-class in German service, but extensively rebuilt: raised forecastle and stern cut down, a longer midship house, mine rails added and of course a new armament.
The picture was sold by Drüppel at least in 1969 as "M 6060". May be the error is due to the author of the book you've taken your copy from.

Excellent. Vielen danke!! :-DThe armament looks like 2-88mm, a twin 37mm and two quad 20mm. Can anyone confirm?
