I had noticed that after finally getting a chance to look at the models.

The actual APC version DOES have its small turret at the front, for 
exactly the reason you mention. The ones with the rear-mounted 
turrets are the FSV versions which are weapon carriers, not troop 
carriers. In the case of the FSV mortar version, I would think that 
most of the rear bay would be stacked with huge amounts of ammo to 
keep the twin rapid-fire autoloading mortars well fed.
