Why would nerfing the M3 against small arms fire be a good idea? I am confused.
Think it sis more about lowering the armor and making damage less RNG and less about the overal resistance.
M3 has superior armor compared to vehicles of its class.

So it can be changed to survive a mine, get shared veterancy and get capping at vet 2.

I am confused as to why it has to survive a mine? No ultra light vehicle should survive a s-mine IMO.
You could have just added capping as a vet 2 bonus and keep it as it is otherwise. Lowering its eHP against small arms fire seems weird.

This is why.

It actually makes a lot of sense because the main problem with balancing the M3 is that one opposing faction has access to early fausts and the other doesn't. So making fausts no longer a "necessity" to counter it while improving other aspects is a smart move.

It makes sense as long as the buffs are enough to make the unit viable which i don't think are enough, specially when PF exist and the time frame at which the unit remains viable is so short.

T1 as a whole needs buffs. (see my post in Soviet thread) I don't think the M3 itself really requires more buffs. It's just that by going T1 -> Penal -> M3 you enter a total dead end once axis LVs hit. The fact that the opponent can just spot your T1 in the FOW and react accordingly immediately (-> Füsil second unit, blob his grens) doesn't help either. Not sure if fixable.

Honestly I think Penals need entirely rebalancing and reworking to be a workable line infantry alternative to Conscripts, and then removing from Tier 1 and placing in tier 0. They would be replaced by some other unit that might make Tier 1 attractive over Tier 2, and provide an alternative pathway to an AT solution. (MicroAT gun? 120mm mortar(Doesn't fix the AT issues)? Non-doctrinal Guard variant with more a focus on AT?).
I have some vague ideas as to what Penals might look like as an unit in this scenario, but it's a large change that would probably require more work than can be expected from the balance team, or allowed by Lelic.

Interesting, that's more of a difference than I had thought. The patch notes were worded as though the difference for small arms was minimal.
