The closest I can think of is the B-29 Superfortress.  There are several
gunners
inremote positions with the ability to fire several sets of guns.  If
the turrets
are remotely controlled, then it might be possible for any crew member
to take
over a turret and
fire it, i.e. the commander could take one and the gunner the other - or
if the
vehicle
is stationary, perhaps the driver.

I believe this design to be along the same lines as vehicles with
driving
positions
both front and rear, with only a single driver - you use whoever happens
to be
available to take the necessary position.
