Actually, several of those "missing vehicles" are present. I wouldn't oppose returning to generic trucks - it would make some things easier. But I believe, that in most countries there should two medium trucks and two light trucks representing 4x4 (or 6x6) troop carriers and ordinary trucks, which constituted a bulk of transport.
There is also other slight problem, hard to overcome in a sensible way. In some OOBs heavy (and medium) trucks are used just as artillery tractors, what usually was not their purpose. On the other hand, a single class "prime mover" has a fault, that all tractors are put in the same class, from light tractors capable to tow only a 37 mm gun to howitzer and AA-gun towing ones... There is also an unclear distinction between light truck and utility vehicle in some cases.
