From the datamined content it looks like the revised plan is to release a take on the traditional PR UGL *and* and underbarrel incinerator;

Unclear as to how these would attach to the stock M41A2 though...
Sounds like it has the potential to be similar to the under-barrel attachments in Colonial Marines, where you could switch out the grenade launcher for a shotgun attachment (and possibly another that I can't recall right now).
Just to round out the dropship analysis, I found the following two screenshots on reddit, which confirm that there are armoured plates that cover the empty rear missile pod housings when they're deployed, and that they do sit slightly above the contours of the fuselage when stowed, leaving some of the ordinance exposed.
A big question I have is about the APCs. I haven't finished all of the campaigns yet, so maybe it's revealed later on, but so far I'm confused as to whether the boxy containers seen in the Endeavor (one loaded into the dropship, and another sitting off to the side) are supposed to be APCs. The wheels seem more along the lines of what you'd see on a dockyard crane, and not at all suited for traversing even slightly uneven terrain. As such, my first instinct was that these are come kind of cargo and/or passenger container that can be swapped out with an APC when the mission demands it. Anyone have any ideas?
