How much do cammo schemes vary between different vehicles

I would think it would be uncommon, but you could always use
a functional equivalent of PSB, the psuedo-history.

'The larger units had been kept in reserve areas where, in
powered down status, they utilized the advantages of full
camouflage paint, while smaller front line units, constantly
in action, and therefore whose main threat was electronic
detection, had reverted to solid paint for simplicity of
maintenance...'

Of course, the example uses the logic in SJG's Ogre Miniatures
book, which many on the list view askance, but you can work
out your own rational...

I rather like:
'The smaller units, painted blaze orange, would act as staked
lamb, drawing the enemy into the killing zone, for the
camouflaged heavies' hunters. This was not a popular tactic
with junior officers commanding those light units.' ;->=
