I suspect it would be easier to modify a WW2 era turret set up for 37mm than a conversion to 25mm (at least 25mm M242), since it would be easier to sort out ammunition stowage, feed, and such, as well as not having to adjust the wiring to power the gun. A Mk19 is comparatively compact and uncomplicated, and in an open topped turret wouldn't be too hard to set up to employ the existing sights on the gun.
