The NCR APC/IFV is basically a straight port of the pre-War IFV from FO4 ... so the turret/gunner's position is quite some distance back from the driver's compartment at the front ... would be awfully cramped, but just about manageable.
EDIT: Also, BTW E-US gauss rifles look like this retexture, but with p. much all the electromagnetic stuff around the gun barrel fully shrouded and concealed:

Not gonna lie that thing always looked like a nightmare to take apart and clean for regular maintenance. Hopefully the Fallout resiliency works in the favor of the poor SOBs using this in the dust and sand.

I wonder what unrealistic Sci-Fi is like in the E-USA.

Oh, they fixed that design - as I noted. But yeah. it's terrible. Like, literally everything important is exposed to the environment.

Are the NCRs gauss rifles materially different from the E-US'?

They're basically this:
YCS/186
The YCS/186 is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. The YCS/186 is a unique variant of the Gauss rifle. It looks like a standard Gauss rifle, but with a sandy or rusted texture along the barrel and main body, and it sports black stripes on the wooden stock. It has four more coils around the...
fallout.fandom.com
Version of the Chinese FO3/FNV Gauss rifles with four additional coils for more firepower. Designation is the M186 Sequoia in honour of the "Ranger Sequoia" pistols used during the First Legion War. So they'd be more powerful (perhaps) but a bit more fragile since the coils are exposed to the elements, enemy fire and such.

*NCR Trooper sees US power armor run towards his trench and frantically cranks the side handle to wind up his gauss rifle*

Is Nate Washington related to George Washington, or is the last name just a ‘coincidence’?

A coincidence, though not that much of one. There are a fair number of Washington families in the US IRL, and precisely none of them descend from George Washington. Not surprising,
given that the man never had biological children.

Ch. 27 snippet:
==*==
Captain Lionel Barrett looked over Veracruz one last time under the steel-blue sky of just before dawn as he got into the VB-03 transport, freshly painted in jungle-pattern camo in preparation for Operation Filibuster. Air transports - both the new craft and the older models - were already taking off and heading northeast across the sea of adobe-walled, red-tiled houses as Dornan IFVs and Lejeune light tanks swam back to the amphibious assault ships that had sent them ashore. The city’s defenders had not put up much resistance to the Marines, as landings and air assaults backed by the firepower of the Caribbean Fleet had stormed the local beaches, cut off the roads leading to the city, and swept into it from the north from just after dark on the 18th to mid-afternoon on the 19th.
In desperation and terror at the overwhelming force of PA soldiers encased in the US military’s toughest suits, T-90 Hellfire (what better for us Devil Dogs?, Barrett sometimes mused), the Mexican soldiers garrisoning the city had fled into the surrounding fields, rapidly establishing a crude perimeter of trench lines around it as if to contain an enemy beachhead. Perhaps they were planning a counter-attack, one they had little to no chance of actually pulling off. Be that as it may, they would find no enemies to attack when they launched their strike. The Fourth Marine Division’s job was done here in Veracruz.
The Mexican army had been crushed in the north, and in the south a message had been sent to the Imperial government in letters carved out by USMC Peacemaker rifles. The US military could do as it pleased in Mexico. That a full-scale invasion had not taken place was a matter of choice, not of ability - that was what the men who'd briefed him on this had said. Barrett sighed. Teach them a lesson and piss off, he mused. Dunno if that’ll just make them angry or not. But more important things than this punitive expedition were taking place to the north. The Calis had taken San Antonio and Austin, forcing Governor Armstead to flee the city and putting the 55th Corps’ back against the Rio Grande. The renegade Texan forces who were guarding the NCR army’s flank against the remaining US forces in the region had held out against the probes that had been launched so far.
Interesting, Barrett thought, Filibuster’s probably gonna be delayed a month or two. Good luck for the Calis, I have to say.

NCR put the remnants on a reservation rather than try and integrate them. It's been inferred that the confinement is more quarantine than submission.
