Its hard to tell from your photos but I'd say its just something someone has added. The torch cut stuff that has the paint on it is whats left of the armoured air louvers. The division plate has also been cut down. I also can't say Ive seen a .50 or .30 cal mounted there. Usually they were put up front on the front armour in front of the gunner.
