106mm.

This is coolbert:

Someone has already fitted the 106 mm recoilless rifle [RR] to the M113 APC. Pakistan Ordnance has fitted TWO of the 106 mm RR to the APC and IS fielding right now this vehicle.

Read the full article about the fitting of the RR to the APC.

Evidently this bad-boy even has a laser sight built into the unit for ranging. The gunner does not have to expose himself to counter-fire and can range, aim, and fire the RR from inside the APC. Sort of a remote control weapons system. [RCWS].

"Pakistan Ordnance Factories have also developed a twin 106 mm recoilless rifle mount which, for trials purposes, has been fitted onto an M113A1 APC of the Pakistani Army. The system also integrates a laser rangefinder into the existing sight of the 106 mm recoilless rifle to replace the elbow telescope. This allows the range to be displayed for the gunner in the sighting optic, which means that he can apply the superelevation and fire without having to look at another instrument."

It is not mentioned about loading and reloading.

A loader may have to reach up from inside the APC and load or unload the round, exposing only his arms and hands in the process. This is not clear from the article.

But can the fitting of the 106 mm RR to the M113 APC be done? As would be done with the Ghurkha brigade I propose? Certainly. It is already being done.
