Yes, but it would be rare.
KV with an extra armor on a turret were produced only until July 1941. So if tank survived into the winter of 41-42, it could have white camo like these two:

P.S. Hey, Mauro! Didn't see your post... Sorry
But you have no white-washed up-armored KV-1 in your links or picks

WOW Mauro, grazie!!!!
Very helpful!!!
I was wondering whether there was any KV with ekhranami that was painted white...
But as I see, the Ekhranami add-on project was sort-lived and didn't made the winter
