The Vehicle Listings in Chapter H indicate whether or not the MA is 
Bow-Mounted ("B"), or Turret-Mounted ("T") [page H11, 2nd Ed].

For all StuGs, the MA is listed as "B"-whatever [page H10].  This means that 
they are Bow-Mounted.

And, those MA listed as Bow-Mounted in the Vehicle Listings of Chapter H.

Don't bother Perry.  Just check Chapter H.  Of course, if one doesn't have 
Chapter H, then bother the ASLML...  :-)
