  But then it still doesn't answer the question of who takes over in the event that the section commander gets killed. The LCP section 2i/c or the CPL saw gunner?

  Section 2IC ..the appt already so obvious
  My unit used to have a CPT , but holding the appt of a PC only. His OC holds the rank of LTA

  it has always been like that and it will probably stay like that.
  
  most appointment holders do not hold their appointment's estab rank.
  
  for example by estab
  coy OC -> MAJ
  support coy PS -> SSG
  snr medic -> SSG
  
  hence ultimately appointment still have the final say.
