Let's say, but in fact at the same GM who according to some sources is a version of a thorough rework Zaku cabin is located in the center of the torso ... It turns out that the federal engineers recognized the original design failed and rebuilt it
From what the EFF did, it is obvious that they simply put parts together and made it work, and less likely to care about where the cockpit is.
This can somewhat explain why the GM is vastly superior in spec to the Zaku, but the experience Zaku pilot can still put up a match. Just like the Type Zero the Japanese used in WWII, which is inferior in spec to the F4F, but a design flaw that gives it a better turn to the right makes them hard to hit in the hands of experienced pilots who knows how to make use of the flaw.
BTW, look at more realistic designs, ducts are already pretty low profile, compare to radiators.

Dubious technical solution for space cooling, apply to ground MS? ... It is doubtful somehow
I guess you misunderstood what I meant.
The 06's duct is a quick and dirty solution, the 07 is just a ground upgrade so they didn't do much to alter the design, since printing same parts out over and over is easier than stopping the factory and redesigning the production line.
In atmosphere, it is much easier to cool down with air as a medium to take away heat, thus I doubt the usefulness of the ducts.
False targets for the Feddies to aim? (damaging them will be useless, but look important enough so enemies may aim at them)
The fact that the shield itself is installed on the right side of the body exposed to the risk of getting the least
Like I said, MSs can be both handed, so the motion modules can be designed to give it a set of actions that uses the left hand to hold on to guns and shoot towards the right, thus making the right side the front and the shield useful.
Then it would be reasonable to consider this experience in later models Zaku, and "unification program equipment" could contribute to the modernization of
Likely, but by that time the Zaku's spec is just too low and pilots don't really want to carry a heavy shield to further lower its performance?
Melee in the "Gundam" it "for it is required evil" for various reasons, but in the case of an armed clash face to face, it will be easier to hit buckler than to ram his shoulder
Spikes-missiles is somehow not practical, the best classic pendant launchers (stylize if needed), and spikes can be used for shunting engines or sockets for traps
Well, print this figure out without zooming in: +=--
stick it to the end of a 35 cm pole, hold the other end and try to hit the "--" part to a fly without getting the = part hit.
It is not really easier than trying to hit the "+" part to a fly.
Now imagine the "=" part the main body of your MS, the "--" the extended arm and the "+" part the shoulder.
This is at least 100 times easier than space combat melee.(speed and size scale, in space combat, you are likely to not see the enemy as big as the fly, but only a speck of dust before it flashes pass you at mach 5~6)
And this fails to consider the fly will be very likely shooting to your MS at least 5 meters away in a deadly accuracy.
"Gelgoog" was the pinnacle of technical thought Zeon times the One Year War, if we proceed from the prototype Zaku, it seems to me that a realistic MS-06 would be like MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom (space version), without spines on the shoulders and hoses on top armor and more "comfortable" (with maneuvering engines) shoulder pads in terms of the movement "hands" in the vertical
