I doubt it, but it would give improved protection. Modern
shaped-charge weapons have two warheads, one at the front to break
through the shaped-charge defences, and one at the back to break
through the main armour.

One must also bear in mind that many shaped-charge weapons (I'm not
including lightweight ones such as the RPG series or 66) are
primarily designed to disable MBTs; a much lighter vehicle such as
the Stryker is always going to be easier to destroy.
