If you want to know if the enemy tanks have riders - simply hose them down with HMG fire. That's my standard policy with WW2 tanks (who do it regularly, esp Russians) though less valid in MBT as tank riding is less used there with the availability of APC. See clumps of advancing armour - give them some dakka dakka and see what falls off.

This is good practice anyway as the buttoned tanks lose firing and spotting ability. Shoot with the units far away first and button so the closer ones are not spotted.
