There's quite a few APCs that have bench seating, both the M113 and FV432 use benches (they don't require the troops to face outwards so centreline seating or individual seating isn't necessary).
Having the FV499 use bench seating for the troop compartment would be in line with the most common NATO APC (i.e. the M113) and the FV432 at the time of writing. Individual seating become more common in the West with IFVs/MICVs such as the Marder, Warrior and Bradley.
