I doubt it, it would mean retconning the well-established STC discovery date of M36, and we already have pintle heavy weapons for Rhinos, which fill a similar role.

 

Not as much call for capacity 6 transports in 30k either, with squad sizes typically being larger.

 

I think additional pintle mount options are more likely.

Can't see them retconning the discovery of the Razorback template from m36 and the Shattered Legions didn't really have the time or resources to make anything new, but it'd be  nice to see some lighter transports in 30k in some form. I was gutted that the Militia lists don't have anything lighter than a Gorgon without taking Survivors of the Dark Age.

Rhino's can already take a Heavy Bolter or Heavy Flamer. While it's not got the in universe 'power' of a TL heavy (reroll to hits in 40k, basically means that in real life, there are 25mm rocket propelled explosive rounds at a rate of around 30 per second rather than 15 per second.) in game it can either take the form of a Pintle weapon, or a CROWS type system where it is mounted on the backhatch. Changing one of the sides to something like a Smoke Launcher, Optics or a Searchlight might help though.
