Something I just realized...
The M48A5 MBT.
The coax in the M48 series goes from a .30-06 M1919A4E1 M37 to a 7.62 NATO M73 to M219 to M240 as it progressed from A1 to A5.
What I just noticed is the A5 conversion deleted the Ma Deuce and the commander's cupola and replaced it with a complex articulated pintle and added a pintle to the loader's hatch...
For a couple of M60D machine guns.
One nice thing about the M1 was the loader's MG was the same gun as the coax and they could be swapped if something went wrong with one of them.
