But in any case, the sponsons are supposed to include NERA elements :

on drawing board stage why not (there was also cool artist drawing for one of MoD meetings where he draw a ball MG mount in turret front ) ? on serial vehicles none have any signs of it 

+ shape of sponsons itself will give one big weakspot if you try to put pack there, but will see, maybe more pics in higher res will apear 

thanks to @skylancer-3441 measures on vehicle and photos, i corrected my previous estimations based on vehicle photogrammetry which had theory about 150mm thickness of block overall

steel plates also have a thin layer of some fiber in coating

So, there is actually 3 NERA sandwiches inside the front sponsons.

sponson front is empty and destroyed, thats main UFP pack, as for 3 or more, pics are way too low quality, but yeah we can see 3 for now, and i kinda doubt that protection was improved since CR1...

some more lynx, good view of external fuel tanks

some khald's, shir's etc, plate which is drilled look like UFP speical amror one, and look like Aluminum

Quite interesting M1A1 uses same spacers for crew compartment side armor as front ones
