in this case, there is 2 pictures of turrets with a figure (commander or
gunner) sticking out of the top of the turret. So the turrets are not
simple remote weapon stations.
Even with remote weapon stations you need ammo hoppers accessible from
inside the vehicle or your crew have to go outside the vehicle to
reload. Not a popular task in a firefight.
The vehicles look nice and the turrets are a good size but I think they
need to be moved up front like they are on the engineer variant.

Those rear-mounted guns are usually remotely operated. Even on the
early Marders, these were remote guns. But these have always been
smaller turrets with no men in them. Nor sure on these designs.
