Nice pictures.
Looking at all of the pictures I wonder if the white crosses and other markings help in aiming at it?

The Wehrmacht had very similar white or yellow crosses (a bit bigger than Ukraine is usually carries at its vehicles) at Polish campaign but dropped it for exact this reason as it was discovered it was helping the enemy to aim at these vehicles. After this the black Balkenkreuz with just white small outlines were used soon after this.

See answer by Black_Sheep above.
BUT
A Ukrainian anti-tank gunner sees a T-72/T-64/T-80 and thinks about firing at it.
He does not see a visible white cross so he shoots and destroys it.
The only problem was that the tank had a barely visible white cross instead of a Z.
