I don't think so. See pictures, with clearly an observation cupola in the turret roof, and less clearly crew entering by the turret. But it must have been a bit of a squash for a crew of 3.French Hotchkiss - Im sure is another external mounted type. Allbeit in a turret.

I would count it.Kelly Bushings said:Would the Rifle, Multiple 106 mm, Self-propelled, M50 (Ontos) count as having external mounted guns? It sported six 106mm recoilless rifles.
which is quite right. I didn't check, and assumed there was a driver in the hull. But it's 2 crew both in the turret. There were other versions of this French concept with 4 or 6 recoilless guns, externally mounted.If I remember correctly, the Hotchkiss LFU vehicles only had a two-man crew.
Can you please share some detailed analysis of these tanks ?Two early efforts to mount external guns on MBT's
Gremany's VTS-1
Sweden's UDES-3? Marder IFV
