Remove weapon hardpoints from MH-60L DAP

When the MH-60L DAP helicopter is not carrying weapons, can the weapon hardpoints be removed to make it look like a civilian version of the helicopter?

No that’s a different variant, correction, that has the hard points

You know, that one civilian helicopter with “United States Army” text on its tail and guys in military equipment inside.

The MH-60L in your picture still has hardpoints on it, just looks like it doesn’t by the angle. Wasn’t 160th trying to replace ESSS a few years back? Either way, MH-60M for your time:
