T-62
"in the storage compartment in the turret"
I don't quite see how that would work here: all ammo storage is accessible from the turret compartment. I see only 2 rounds in the turret basket area. I suspect it is very similar in T-54/55
Most ammunition (16 rounds) in the right front hull). There are 7 more rounds in the lower hull, under/besides the turret basket. And a further 6 rounds at the turret rear. Total load is 43, so some 14 in the hull behind the turret and forward of the engine compartment. Here is the marked difference with T-62 and T-72: rounds at the turret rear, much like the M60A1/A3 and therefore M60T.
Leopard 2A4. With the Leo 2, there is an armored seperation between turret interior and turret ammo stowage, I believe. The turret interior also has a spall-liner, which reduces the number of fragments and narrows the fragment cone in the event of penetration of the turret armour.
