Check in Tracker if their unit IDs are higher than inf/tank divisions. I guess units with lower IDs are targeted first in land combats, thus higher exp gains for them.

I believe the targeting is more or less random, not based on unit ID. Someone with knowledge spoke up about this a few years ago.

Tanks will gain more exp if fighting "in the open", but not at city sieges.... (imho). I have a tank regiment with 76 exp I just checked this is ok. The ones in China mostly doing city combat they are not good in exp. I do not know the starting number anymore.

Btw: Vs. the AI Japanese tanks are good esp. the Type1 medium, I believe the AI will not send own tanks or At guns when it detects many enemy tanks. A human will react more to enemy tanks and try to bring in stuff to fight them. And the Allies have enough in their arsenal, so this may be the reason IJA tanks will not perform as good in PBM.

For AE they are. They were ranked by ID in WitP, but we randomized them in AE, though non-combat units will go to the bottom of the stack.

I don't know why armor units would get less experience than infantry, the armor should be shuffled and randomized with the infantry units.

My instinct for the tank regiments specified was just that they may suffer the loss of a couple of devices, which are then replaced - potentially negating any XP gain they may have had as their XP slides back towards the national average.

The only reason this could potentially be different between tank regiment and Inf division/tank division would be that we know that there is a greater chance for smaller units to get hit harder (so greater chance they have to replace devices). I suspect the OP is suffering from poor die rolls, more or less.
