From that fairly recent photo of the crewman in Iraq, is it possible that the M231s are standard/semi-official issue personal defense weapons for some Brad crews? Maybe just the older ones that used to have the firing ports before they were uparmored? Back in the '70s and '80s, U.S. AFV crewmen used to be issued M3 Grease Guns. The M231 would be somewhat of a step up, IMO.
