Really detailed answer thanks.
A - 2 or 3 are possible,I don't think 1 as it looks flush to the surface. I will probably go with 3 as that seems to fit well and I can't think of any other vehicle that has needed access to the controls that way.
B - all seem possible. I'm guessing the front hatch is to avoid the fans at the rear. This makes the phone possible but I think unlikely as nobody will stand in front under fire to communicate....
C - all plausible
D - it would be an odd configuration but I'm not sure what they are.
My guess is the artist drew things so as not to have big flat spaces on the front of the vehicle. To me anything recessed is compromising armour.
Pods - I'm at a loss for these, they look too far from the engines to be linked to it. My first thought was warp drive off Star Trek!
Turret - good spot, I had considered it based on the BTR60/70/80. It could be two man as you say from the size but would be SEVERELY cramped.
I need to reread the books - from memory the Iron Cow gets destroyed about book 3/4 so not too much to read...
