Yes, that is just like the profile schematic I saw. The missile launchers were mounted on the mantlet.
I read in the
Armour Profile (Remember those?)on the Centurion 5 that at one point the Brits thought to mount a Swingfire missile on the mantlet, but that never went forward.
Personally I think its a bad idea to have two main weapon systems on a large vehicle crewed by four. They're busy enough driving, shooting and communicating.
