Why would you take these? What role do the fill?

As for specific questions:

AC's are really good for poping light vehicles... but TL-LC's do it better AND can pop heavy vehicles, so why would I want an AC version?

You can put a Havoc Launcher on a standard Chaos LR, so no real need to replace the HB.

Finally, why would you take reaper autocannons instead of just TL-AC's? The side sponsons on a LR obviously have the space for TL variants of guns (LC, huricane bolters) so why take the one with the reduced range?

EDIT:

Seeing your edit on the points for the first:

You're spending the same cost on the Harbringer as you are on a standard Chaos LR with a Havoc Launcher. So you're Spending the same points to get two lower range, lower str, lower versatility guns and the removal of a heavy bolter. Doesn't seem right.
