Hi Göran
I got the slides from Mr. Gehrcke,a Mariner who died a couple of years ago. I have no more information about tug and tow.

The tow looks very much like an old Loch-class frigate of WWII origin. However none of those were reported as being exported eastwards or to any country later under Soviet influence, so it's a mystery how it ended up under polish toe in German waters.
Btw, are you shure about this tug/icebreaker being built in the UK, it's looking very much as a russion design from that date.
Regards Göran
