Three things off the bat that I see are incorrect.

1. The winch cover, it does not hinge like that. It is removable but as easily as flipping it up.

2. The suspension components are not black, the vehicle is overall forest green, while parts of the drive train maybe different colours, I believe for the most part it is green.

3. Why does the .50cal have a Mk.19 cover on it?

Overall it is a nicely built model, but there are some mistakes

No, you misread the instructions.  They show the Mk19 feed cover being installed on the Mk19 and a .50 cal feed cover on the .50 cal.  You apparently mixed these parts up.

Also, the exhaust diffuser is not removable without taking out a bunch of bolts, which are a real PITA to do.  It is only done as part of major maintenance on the vehicle.

I like the model overall,  nice job of construction. The "discrepancies" can be addressed, or not, as the owner decides.

 However one thing that should be corrected immediately and without fail, is that the grain of the table shown, is going the wrong way.

Steve, I build models, this is not an exact science, it is just a pastime of pleasure and that gives us creativity and freedom to invent.

  This is my vision of modeling, however it is cruel to pseudo-purists who see coming out of the mythological Greek calends

You're quite right, it was my mistake MK19 per case.
