The CFTO for the installation of the GPMG mount into the M38A1 vehicles mentioned that the mount was tried on the M151A2, but the skin was too thin to support the mount. There is even a photo that has an M151A2, presumably at LETE, with that mount installed.

The M151A2 series usually seemed to be more of an administration vehicle, which really was all a soft skin vehicle should be. We did have the TOW system in a small amount of them, but really that was it. I have not seen a CFTO on installation of anything bigger than a rifle or SMG mount onto these vehicles. (with the exception of the TOW for the airborne).
