I am guessing that the machine gun is only fired to the left. Not sure how the driver could see.

Perhaps it was designed to operate in pairs like the Marmon-Herrington light tank from the 1930s with right and left hand versions.

I think the drawings are rather fanciful artist's impressions. Tankcommander's link doesn't seem to be working at the mo, but something similar is here: 

If you go to here you'll see another interesting development. Following the links reveals that Mr. Martin collaborated with Mr. Knox, I think he of the Tank Tractor:
