This would happen once the tank is down to it's final ten (Or eleven if you assume one loaded.) rounds which the "revolver" loader holds.

I see one problem with that: how is ammunition stored?
Presumably it is not just strapped all over the place, or we would have seen more tanks blown up during the war.
It must be inside some sort of containers, which would still take up space even after the rounds inside are removed.
Of course those containers can be removed but how much time does it take? Is it something that can be done on the fly or does it take some time?

From what I have read it does not. It shares components but it is not just a plain Merkava hull without turret.
