There seems to be little detail from UK sources, Wrecksite gives some information about both ships, indicating that one ship was sunk earlier and the other later in the day. Have a look.

You have certainly woken up some of us:
A site which has long given up its forum, still has its very valuable data on-line. Probably not known of by most present members.

www.mariners-l.co.uk

Welcome to the site. Someone of our gathering may be of help.

I take it that the convoys you have unearthed are: KMF18, KMS18B and KMS 19G.
A search around some other sites besides this one may be dug out by our excavators.

By downloading the picture and enlarging, the letters "AUSTR??" appear. One vessel that may fit could be AUSTRIAN built at Dumbarton in 1894.The apparent dimensions seem to fit. This vessel was believed to have been Norwegian owned at some time. A little more digging: Built as BHAMO at William Denny...

From a casual scan I don't think that submarine activity was much within the scope of the Armed Guard in WW1.
