A dismounted BESA sounds rare. The question would be why when there were lots of other options (Bren, M2HB, M1919A4) that were used and seen quite frequently. The other issue I see with the BESA is the mount. In armoured vehicles the mount is typically a bronze or cast cradle the gun slides into. This would make it very difficult mounting on a carrier without an improvised mount. I would also argue that the BEAS taking a unique 7.92 cartridge would lead to ammunition supply problems.
