Either way, I think the opportunity to put 100km between myself and Kalisz in an afternoon rather than a week is too tempting at that stage of the game. If it breaks down the next day, I'm still way better off. Even better, if I manage to get to the Markgravate or Krakow with the thing still working it's a huge asset.

I would have to agree with this for the points made for keeping marked as Pact forces. Why draw more attention to yourself if you are the bandits. As pointed out your side, even if they had the capabilities have bigger fish to worry about, your lone BTR isn't worth advertising, "WE ARE HERE, COME GET US!" to the rest of the Pact Forces in the area.
It was an interesting problem on the Eastern Front for both sides. Even the Germans fighting in France would tend to take and use anything they have captured to good use against their former owner if they get a chance.
