I thought this was personnel layout when submitted. I'll recheck my notes if I'm understanding the issue correctly. Last ref has interior shots.

that picture shows 4 seats in the back, plus there are the 2 hatches for the gunners/observers with standing plates on the floor. So 6 in the back, at a squeeze,IF you want to operate with the hatches permanently open and permanently standing, or sitting on the floor. Does not look like that much room for stowage of kit operating with 6 men, less if you have 2 gunners taking those spots.

so - really only enough for 1x4 man brick in the back, so 4 vehicles can carry half a platoon only, plus 2x4 others from the platoon as drivers and co-drivers of the wagons.

I can only see this as operating half the platoon on foot (or in a base) and the other on patrol ops in the vehicles at one time.
