Not like this it wouldn’t - This would be useless vs either - the gap is too small to do anything to HEAT and the thickness would jsut be smashed through by a HESH shell’s kinetic energy.

it would still be something at least. Any yes every HESH shell that’s ever entered service would just punch clean through and explode inside the crew comp
IRL yes, in game no
I can’t find any proof of the St Chamond having spaced frontal armour. All variants of it show the exact same plate on the front. That part around the gun isn’t the lower armour, that’s just the armour for the gun mantlet.
Modele 1

Modele 2
Modele 3 (this is the exact tank the ingame version is based on. However the side plates are different from what Gaijin modelled.)
And in the interior of a Modele 3, showing no extra plate

All the sources state it had an extra plate added as spaced armour - so you should start from the basis that it existed. Or are you trying to convince us it never existed at all??
Why would you expect an interior shot to show exterior armour?
This looks like it here -
How does one see exterior armour from inside the tank?
