I believe the V4Victory series of operational games by Atomic games had an excellent solution to this problem of unit identification. When unit make LOS on each other not much of anything is known except a generic type such as armor, guns, infantry. The size of the units eyeballing each other for the first time was "fudged" using an algorithm that used the unit morale instead of the quality of the unit to take into account battle fatigue.
The longer the units were in contact (in LOS) the more information was teased out and revealed on the counters each turn. To get he best possible picture of the enemy unit only took 2-3 turns if both units were fresh and of the same morale level. However, this "picture" was never 100% accurate, just as when in PzC you see a unit with XXX size you are not sure if it is 700 or 101.

Currently we receive accurate division or corps identification when we put LOS on the enemy. It is not to hard to remember in each title the few units that are elite or of sub-standard quality and single out those units accordingly in a PzC fight. I think that information should also be concealed to some extent at initial contact, only revealed later. Unfortunately some art packs are designed to give away such information merely by learning the art work. I am not sure what could ever be done about that.
