Hi Juan,
the last combat operation of the M60 MBT was in Operation Desert Storm 1991. Most of the M60 where phased out in the late 1980`s. So there is no chance of building the Patton in OIF or OEF livery. The last M60 here in Germany served with the OPFOR at the JMTC Hohenfels, but were put out of service 5 years or so ago.

You're the one that found the text, don't you have a link? At any rate, it was probably Desert Shield/Desert Storm (for a US vehicle at least) in which it was mentioned. No way they'd be in Afghanistan or Iraq in the last little while.
