Actually, no it can't.  A23.5 and D.8 both make it clear that DCs are *not*
like Small Arms: in order to affect an AFV (including any Vulnerable PRC), you
have to target the AFV (D.8A).  To harm the PRC with a DC, you have to target
the AFV.

If the vehicle were unarmoured, yes, you could just throw the DC and resolve
it normally -- but because the vehicle is armoured, D.8A applies.
