Based on a Yorck?

Is this drawing showing her in her original layout or post-modernization?

The sim looks very good for the period, other than this part:

Quoted


6 - 1.85" / 47.0 mm 60.0 cal guns - 3.46lbs / 1.57kg shells, 150 per gun
Anti-air guns in deck mounts, 1914 Model
6 x Quad mounts on centreline, evenly spread


The picture looks good, but seems slightly confused: the superstructure, stack, and directors are clearly a later-1930s rebuild, but the armament looks unchanged, which seems very odd. I'd have expected the 15cm casemates to be plated over and a new secondary and AA battery to be added with the new superstructure.
