Default lifting body / winged CEV

So I don't know if this is the right group but whatever.

So I've been reading speculation on the CEV's shape, and I got to
wondering. If it where a winged or lifting body design, how would you
attach a LEM? I would imagine that the configuration would be along the
lines of Apollo, with some type of SM in the back, with the lunar
module in the front. If you were to attach it to some kind of docking
port on the nose of the CEV, wouldn't the presence of the docking
hardware make reentry difficult? ( like seams and stuff). And if you
didn't attack the LEM to the nose, where would you put it, if you
stuck it on top, would it get torqued off or something?
