I'm working with Ron on this.
Paul is correct. One of the wrecks is the "UC 50" off Dungeness. Our research suggests that that ID is wrong though -- the submarine attacked by HMS Zubian on February 4, 1918 was UC 79, not UC 50. UC 50 was almost certainly lost before that date, and is probably off Griz Nez.
As for the real identity of the U-boat wreck off Dungeness, likely the only way to know is to get a number off her propellers.
The second wreck is in Rye Bay between Hastings and Dungeness. In September 1917, the Royal Navy found a submarine wreck. They never identified it -- in fact we don't even know what class of U-boat it was they found!
Best wishes,
