I would like to suggest the Sicherungsfahrzeug UE (f) armed with an 7,92 mm MG 15 and 13mm Mg 131 in a fully rotating turret.
History:
Sicherungsfahrzeug UE (f) meaning Security Vehicle UE (f) UE beeing the french captured Renault UE transport tankettes, captured by germany after the fall of france. Quite a lot of them were armored and armed with 1-3 Mgs of different construction, beeing Mg 15, Mg 34 and at least 1 with and Mg 131, these werent universally build and aparently not a single one matches the other. As the name suggests these were build for second line purpose to protect areas against sabotage and other partisans, who often didnt have proper AT guns, as such the light armor of 14,5mm which was enove to protect against 7,92mm S.m.K. Ammo was enove to create a good vehicle, small, light and armed as sayed befor with 1-3 Mgs prooven effective at its roll. Usually used to protect airfields and other points of interrest.
While the only 7,92mm Mg armed ones would be rather useless in game, the 13mm Mg 131 armed one, with a Mg 15 in the hull as well (when loaded with also S.m.K.H ammo, together with the Ap-I and I-T rounds would be usefull against low flying planes as well as some light armored vehicles, if not at least you could make fire support and detrack enemy tanks with high fire volume.
Interestingly somewhere this very Sicherungsfahrzeug UE (f) with Mg 131 is still in existence to this day.

The Guns:
1x 7,92 mm Mg 15 (lower hull) Free traverse +/-30°, -10° to +45° Elevation
1000 rpm
75 round drumms 825 rounds reserve
Ammo:(Click to show)
While technically the normal Luftwaffe ammo, it should only recive clean belts of S.m.K.H to be of any use, with 22mm/10m and 19mm/100m Penetration.
This round is 12,6g heavy with a 8,25g core of 6,13 mm and a velocity of 875m/s
Penetration would be 20-22mm/10m and 19mm/100m (Normal Ap/Apcbc calculator)
And by history of the Spanish civil war, T-26 could be penetrated from 150-250m/30°
(Gaijins APCR Calculator isnt usable for small rounds as is, they “fixed” it by changing the K factor in game, tho i cant do such with the Wiki Calculator, with Corrected APCR calculator may be a bit higher.)
1x 13 mm Mg 131 (Turret) Free traverse 360°, inner mount additional +/-30°, -10° to +45° Elevation
