Even though they are normal scenarios such as Bzura, Stalingrad and Gustav Line.
Would this message display if the challenger had used a custom equipment.pzeqp?
This has been asked before but I'll ask again,
How does a player accepting a challenge know what is different?

Right now, if you use the versions of these maps and equipment files that come with 1.00, they will not be flagged.
This is because the server has to sync with the updated versions of the equipment and also map files, and that has not been done. There's no reason to sync the BETA versions as they contains temporary and not final changes, but the what the server checks for will be brought up to date when we get to the release version of the patch.
As for what is different, the server flags custom maps and equipment file separately.
Specific changes are not covered in the current set up. If someone changes the price of a single unit by 1 prestige or re-writes the entire equipment list, they're both still 'custom'.

OK, thanks. That makes sense and is good to know.
Another question: if a player changed the pzeqp file (your 1 prestige example) and then changed it back to the original value, would the server pick that up as a modified pzeqp file?

No. Only the content of the file matters, not change history.

I think that I answered this question before somewhere, but I'll answer again: right now the only way is to ask the challenger via PM or something like that, or just avoid the challenge. Showing what exactly is changed would be nice, but there is not enough infrastructure for this on server side yet. I could show this in game, but it is suboptimal, because you would need to accept the challenge first, and then there is no way to get rid of the game.
