One only has to go back in time as the Vietnam War to see armored vehicles loaded down with improvised armor (sandbags and chain link fencing), additional machineguns (one photo of an M-48 has two M-60 machine guns mounted on brackets above the headlights; and M-113 fitted with a 106mm RR for the TC to play with), and improvised vehicles of every possible discription (Stanton's OOB of Vietnam has a photo of a WWII Dingo scout car that was being used by US Army MPs for convoy escort).
So I think one can certainly see just about every possible mix of improvised mountings, not to mention anything that can run and carry armor and weapons becoming front line equipment....hmmmmm how about a VW beetle with the roof cut off, scavanged armor from a -113 and a couple of mgs on pintle mounts?
