doctrinal purists will point at the tankiest tank to ever tank and then say "nuh uh, that's a AIFPCDTSPU, no true tank has been built since the korean war."

Sure, you can call it a tank, but what's with the buckets?

20 points if the enemy lands a shot in one of them. The ticket feed is on the other side.

Looks like someone started listening to Papa Nurgle's war stories...

Those are garbage cans not turrets. Based on the treads though, you can call it a tank.

It has a literal turret just above that.

Turret : "A small (round) tower on top of a larger tower (or a tank) or at the corner of a building or wall, typically of a castle" That machine is more an armored vehicle with tracks, but without a turret. The machine gun itself is not a turret, and isn't mounted on a turret.

What do you call the whole in the top of a Humvee where a gunner sits? It's a turret.
