Unfortunately, those Civilian Mech RATs aren't really year-dependent, and making them so isn't really anywhere on the horizon at this time. If you spot a mech like that, I would definitely remove it in the lobby and regenerate a more appropriate one.

Thanks. Is that something a non-coder can help with?

Sure, if you wanted to put together era-appropriate civilian unit RATs, that would be the majority of the work.
