I've also read (tho I can't find the reference) that even with other M1s firing at them it's often taken several hits to destroy disabled M1s.
That doesn't mean there wasn't penetration just that the the ammo storage baffles were doing what they are supposed to do

and as well if we compare in game Desert Storm era T-72's and their ammo vs game Abrams and their armour you are going to get the historical result. There is no way you get a kill shot on an abrams on the frontal arc and the Abrams can chew through Iraqi T-72's until their ammo runs out
