I suspect what you are seeing is hoar frost rather than paint or whitewash. Note the fuel can on the right-rear has far more frost on it which would be normal since it would be far colder than the armour itself due to the cooling effect of the gasoline inside. Also, if whitewashed, why not do the roadwheels?

Note that the tank ruts seem to be heavily frosted rather than snow covered and these are the sort of effects you might see on a cold, humid winter morning. I recall winter field exercises where the M-109's and the rest of the vehicles on the gun line would be almost totally white early in the day even without any percipitation.

Congrats on #600!
