Hello Jan-Olof and Erling,
CACHALOT did not lay a minefield in October 1940 but F.D.28 was laid on 26.1.1941: 50 mines within 2.5' of 62°57.5' N, 06°52'40" E with flooders set for 1.3.1941. So it would appear that she was most likely the culprit as HULDRA is reported to have sunk in 62°58.9' N, 06°51.3' E.
NARWHAL had also laid a minefield in the same area in May 1940 but with flooders set for 20.6.1940 so she could not have been responsible unless one mine was rogue and did not deactivate but we will never know for sure.
Best regards,
Platon
