I was assuming the ammo stowage was open. And the M1A2 SEP has more of a 30% chance of being penatrated.

Why would it be open? Unless the tank is in loading, which means that the tank probebly got a shot off, or there would be no reason to reload.

I'm totally speculating with these estimates so don't even begin to quote me on this.
The BM-44M gets 660mm at 2km. This enough to penetrate the glacis and lower hull of the M1A2SEP. Though M1A2SEP wouldn't take any damage unless it hit the driver's hatch. So I'd give this a 30% chance of kill against an M1A2SEP

The DM-53 gets 810mm at 2km. This is enough to penetrate the hull of the Abrams and parts of the upper turret. I'd give this a 50% chance of a kill against an M1A2SEP.

The CHARM 3 gets the same as the DM-53 but since it's DU it's after armor effects are more effective. So I'd give it a 60% chance of a kill.
