It is not U-31. It's an U-Boat Type II

Note the 3 torpedo tube hatch (port, lower stem, starboard) arrangement on the bow. Type VIIs (U31 et al) had a continuous stem with two torpedo tubes on each bow - streamlined with rectangular covers.

The photo is not likely to have been taken at Lorient either. The Type IIs only saw action from Germany and then were limited to training, principally in the Baltic. A date of 1940 is also unlikely, though possible.
