if they were planned or had to provisions to be armed then yes.
Depends what you count as planned, they were experimental but were supposed to become operational at some point
The IIIV was the competitor of the Harrier’s ancestor
Note for clarification:
The PT-76(M) has a Cockerill Mk.III-A2 (which can not use APFSDS as far as I have found in Cockerill sources) and has the very recognisable triple-baffle muzzle brake.
The Nimda PT-71 in the image has a Cockerill Mk.III A1, seen from the MECAR single-baffle muzzle brake. This means it can use APFSDS munitions (the one shown in your image).
I’m impressed you managed to find a picture of the PT-71 with the cockerill gun, as I have not been able to. Great work!

Autoloading 'Brams
M1A1 with Megitt’s unique bustle autoloader (34 round ammunition capacity)
Very compact and a fourth crew member/loader could still be retained/seated inside the turret.

They can add this for infantry like to have troops parachute down onto the battlefield/ light tanks as well.

Challenger 2 LEP was supposed to get a bustled autoloader as well.
Fairey Hydraulics was contracted to develop a conveyor-belt autoloader designed to handle the ammunition of the L30 120mm rifled gun.
Had a 20-round capacity and could be loaded from both outside and inside the tank.
Fire rate was 1 round per 8 secs (7.5 RPM) and a three-round burst of taking 21 seconds (8.5 RPM).

Challenger 2 L/55
In 2005 a Challenger 2 was modified by BAE to mount the Rheinmetall 120mm L/55 smoothbore gun with the L30’s MRS and fire control system.
The turret’s ammo storage was also modified.

The issue with this mod (Normally called the CLIP, Challenger Lethality Improvement Programme, as the L30 is already an L55 gun) is only the bustle was modded, the hull and basket stowage was left as is. So you get 6 rounds total.
