Googling came up with various pics of the interior of the M113A1 FSV

Best interior shot taken from rear door.

As you can clearly see the middle is naturally enough the gunners position and turret mechanics. The seats are left and right and are taken up by not surprisingly ammo. In some pictures the space closest to the door and to the right actually has a seat belt. I'm assuming it is for the loader. Doesn't look like there is any room in there for anyone extra except maybe a casualty lying on the deck close to the door.

In this picture, if you would put in the seats near the door, at least four men could fit in - I don't say it would be comfortable but maybe possible

Found a handful of forums (Australian) and Tank Net that indicated they might be able to hold two troopers. All agree this never happened. They pretty much indicated it was for spare ammo (Remember we're talking 76mm rounds.), fuel, water, rations etc. One trooper said while serving he came across one crew that had a microwave in their MRV. I suspect that's why the official Army Museum had them as C3 Commander, Gunner and Driver. My picture is from further back and might offer a different perspective maybe. It's also from the FSV.
