Actually, that *is* a legal design -- Vans are permitted 3-sp. Turrets. (The real problem is the Van's limited max. load; a turreted "base" ATG is going to suck up something like 1/6 the available load.)
The "Ram Tram" sounds more like a typo than anything else; someone typed "3" when "4" was intended. (BTDT -- I hate keyboards. :) ) More on this below.
Personally: I never understood why P-cores couldn't be made OR (which would be mostly a change of the rubber treads part) or FP (if the plastic core is armor-quality...). They would be *horrifyingly* expensive, in both cost and mass, but doable.
(I ain't touchin' that last one. ;) )
