That's an interesting thought.
I built my Titian IIIe so that the boosters attached at both top and bottom. They transferred thrust to the bottom lugs and hung from the top lugs. Nosecone separation (with the breakpoint below the lugs) lifted the top off the upper lugs and let the SRB fall away.
Reversing that, so the lugs/posts point the other direction and thrust is transferred at the top and the SRB hangs from the bottom and 'noseblowing' the bulk of the SRB body tube, letting the aft body/motor pull out recovery might be a nifty solution.
