Now I have checked the *** and search, I've only found references to the Venom Huey and one actual suggestion (Pre-We-Got-The-Twin-Huey).
Now I'm pretty sure everyone knows what the Y version will bring us. 4 Rotors, New Composite tail rotors, Better engines, its faster, has a higher payload capability, more effiiciant and a larger combat radius. And seeing PR takes place in 2010-2014, the USMC would already have most of they're Aviation squadrons converted to the "Yankee" Huey. This would be a reletively simple change from the Twin Huey's Model, the Engines are larger, the Tailrotor is changed (Its the same as the AH-1z, which we already have), other small to unoticeable changes, avionics, updated FLIR, etc. Shouldn't be that much of a change, but survivability against AA would be increased.

Re: Switching to the USMC UH-1Y
hummm some good points there. Are the only visual differences the rotors?

Re: Switching to the USMC UH-1Y

The UH1Y shares a lot in common with the AH1Z Cobra -- as shown in this diagram. It would require remodeling the tail section of the current Huey.

Resuggestion.
Also, cosmetic change that doesn't have much affect on gameplay.
Lockdown!

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
