I have no clue about the backblast of a claymore and if it can penetrate an uparmored M113. But maybe the rectangular boxes that the claymores are inside are made of armor plates too, or at least the back of that box.
I made a small reserarch about Camp Bucca and I´ve found out that it was or is packed with prisoners and they are short on security personnel, then I´ve thought about this:
What if this M113 is like a guardsman in a normal jail? The guardman in a usual jail dont cary any guns and the M113 dont has a gun mounted. If there is a revolt the crew of the M113 just close there hatch and they are safe and drive away or sit it out while the prisoners dont get their hands on a weapon. If they get in to much trouble they blow up the claymores.
Im not shure but sounds not bad to me.
