Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it?
But... does anybody do ALL you need for vehicles on one sheet?
I can’t be harassed with getting one sheet of Balkenkreuz - one sheet of DAK palms - one sheet of turret numbers, etc.
And the Brits are worse still!
Cheer, gents.

Plastic Soldier Company?

I've not checked the list I'm afraid so can't guarantee that they do them.

From what I've found looking for 28mm early war French decals, you need to be very specific in your searches, starting with (a) nationality, (b) which theatre/location, (c) which year, (d) which formation, and (e) which vehicle. Some companies are very good at putting an "all you want" menu on the same sheet; others will spread them out in the manner you suggest, which can make this sort of thing expensive (you might also have to use different techniques for decals from different manufacturers).
I think EB is right - Plastic Soldier Company have an entire website section for decals and advertise the sheets as "all you will need for x type of vehicle". If you Google "Images for WW2 tank decals in 15mm 1:100" you should get a lot of examples of sheets from different manufacturers to look at and pick out the ones you like.

The PSC sets have 4 sheets in them if I remember correctly so there will be one of divisional and regimental markings, one of balkankreuz, one of general DAK stuff and one of turret numbers. They only do 15th and 21st though.

Markings can be challenging. The British are especially tricky, as they differ by era, theatre & whim. The Germans are a bit more logical but there are differences between units. The US are generally straightforward, except for Tunisia. So who do you need? Germans? British? Romanians?
All makers provide multiple sheets in their packets. Of the makers that I have experience with & use interchangeably:
Battlefront do multiple sheets in their packs, usually with formation markings, tactical signs and national markings.
https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=fl ... ORM=HDRSC2 Probably best for your purposes TBH
QRF have separate packs & a good but smaller range.
The one set I have from PSC looks good, but that's for RA so that's a special case.
Skytrex have a small range but again you need multiple packs. They do have German number plates which no one else does AFAIK.
Doms Decals are similar but Dom is on a hiatus for unknown reasons.

I'm parking this here so that I can find it again
https://tl-modellbau.de/ They're actually 1/87 (so for Roco Minitanks etc) but they have a large range of WWII decals in their military range, including for the French 2DB. They may be a touch oversize for 15mm but I suspect that they'll look just fine...
