I as a player am being bled right out of this game because its core content is not present.
Please
Amarr/Khanid HAV (GoldeN Caldari Hull with Armour focus)
80GJ Heavy Pulse Laser ( Blaster Turret with EM and damage model proposed from Sisi as well as Green rounds)
Republic Minmatar HAV (Gallente Hull with Armour Focus)
220mm Heavy Artillery (Railgun with Anti Armour focus and Explosive Damage)
40mm Auto Canon (Small Blaster Turret with Projectile)
20GJ Scrambler Lances (Small Rails with Anti Shield damage)
Please dammit I've been begging for Amarr and Min vehicle content for 11 goddamn months now. I don't understand why this is not a Dust Side Focus.
I agree with the idea, but I disagree with your suggested implementation.
Ammar: Smooth rounded hauls.
Minmitar: Flat and angled halls. Often looks like sheet mettle welded together.
Therefore:
Ammar should use Gallente vehicle models with shiny gold and red skins.
Minmitar should use Caldari vehicle models with rust red/brown skins that show rivet and weld markings.
As you say, this would not require any new models be created, only reskinning existing models.

Sucks but this totally isn't going to happen, the sooner you accept it and move on, the happier you'll be.
Could and should be done for all vehicles.
Could happen, because while it requires a client side patch (Rettati has indicated there may be a client side patch after a few more hot fixes), it does not require creation of new models. They are not going to spend the time to try to optimize new models to the point they could get them to work on the PS3, but creating new skins for existing models in a completely different story.
I think that is totally possible!

It would allow for vehicle balance to be worked on in DUST with multiple iterations to get the 4 racial vehicles balanced against each other. This would allow all the base combat balancing to be done before Legion even goes to beta, so they donGÇÖt have to worry so much about balancing issues and can concentrate on other aspects of the game. It would be a great benefit to CCP to do this.

Amarr tend to be more rounded (like church arches) and Minmatar are more angular (because their equipment is a trash heap). You see this is where I disagree. I am thinking of this from more of a lore based perspective. Since they are place holder models they need to looks like their own tech. As such I am thinking of it more from a Khanid Innovations Caldari link perspective since the Caldari and Amarr work closely together to produce tech just like the Federation as part of its financial support for the MInmatar would send the defective Madrugar and Soma off to the Republic for repurposing.
I would rather assume that form followed function so that the two races who use curvy armour tanked hulls came up with vehicles that looked similar, and the same for the two races which favour flat angular designs.
A lot can be done with the skins to make them look different. For instance a lot of the seams and body panels are just shading in the skin rather than creases in the model. The skins for the Amarr and Minmitar vehicles could be different so that while the vehicles would have the same base shape as the Gallente and Caldari vehicles, they would have different body panel configurations and look like different vehicles.
