TORPEDO...LOS!

Heinkel He 111H with two LT F5b practice torpedoes.The Germans also used Italian F5W, LT-280 and F5i practice torpedoes as well as live weapons.

BY THE BOOK:

Practice torpedoes had the warhead painted with red and white stripes, to note it was used for training.
Operational torpedoes were painted in a light or dark gray, w/brass propellers and fins while others were not painted, and had a steel body

I thank the editor/ww2db for allowing me to share my knowledge of WWII...
