There isn't room for all that. The S Tank is very small. Fitting a 120 is a possible, but only just - with your ammo load being very small - small as in 20 rounds max. And OWS - sure. Coaxial automatic cannon? No way. Just not that big a tank alas.

Doesn't appear to be smaller than comparable AFV just shorter.
A Coaxial weapons system doesn't necessarily have to be under armor. The M2HB mounted above the barrel on Israeli AFV is an example.
Appears that the later models did gain the Commanders Cupola with GPMG and thermal sight.
