I tried that and noticed that one of the files was named incorrectly -
UNH_FII_HULL_DIFFUSE.png was named UNH_FFI_HULL_DIFFUSE.png (note two 'F's
instead of two 'I's).  I renamed it and changed the wm_UNH_FII_HULL texture to
the function method I was describing:

//----------------- Begin Code:
#declare TEAMCOLOR = <1.0,0,0>;
#declare STRIPECOLOR = <0,0,1.0>;

#local TeamMap   = function { pigment{ image_map { "UNH_FII_HULL_TEAM.bmp"  } }
}
#local StripeMap = function { pigment{ image_map { "UNH_FII_HULL_STRIPE.bmp"} }
}


#declare wm_UNH_FII_HULL =
texture{ // underlying hull texture
     pigment{
         image_map{
             png "UNH_FII_HULL_DIFFUSE.png"
         }
     }
}
texture{ // Team colors
     pigment{
     function{ TeamMap(x,y,z).gray }
         color_map{
         [0.00 color rgbt 1 ]
         [1.00 color rgb TEAMCOLOR ]
             }
     }
}
texture{ // Stripe colors
     pigment{
     function{ StripeMap(x,y,z).gray }
         color_map{
         [0.00 color rgbt 1 ]
         [1.00 color rgbt STRIPECOLOR ]
             }
     }


     finish {
         ambient rgb <0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000>
         diffuse 0.700000
         brilliance 1.000000
         metallic 0.000000
         specular 1.000000
         roughness 0.010000
     }
}
