None of my reference photos has a clear shot of the mount. However, here is the Accurate Armour Mk V mount, which I have to assume is the same one:

Kaixo Milojko !

Thatīs almost a "mission impossible"!
Iīve seen a lot of photos with that MG fitted to the commanderīs cuppola, though no one in detail.
Iīve read that they were "donated" by american tank crews, so the standard US MG mount may be useful.
Letīs wait for AFVīs Centurion.

Cheers
