This is great stuff!

To put this in SH3 Commander 1.43, players can do the following:

First, extract the RAR file to a convenient place. Then open the Kriegsmarine_Capital_Ships folder and rename the folders as follows:

"Bismarck1939_LightGrey" becomes "19390901"
"Bismarck1941_Baltic" becomes "19410206"
"Bismarck1941_DenmarkStrait" becomes "19410418"
"PrinzEugen_Baltic" becomes "19410205".
"PrinzEugen_DenmarkStrait" becomes "19410417"
"Tirpitz_1941" becomes "19410428"
"Tirpitz_1942" becomes "19420527"

Then place each of these folders in the 'Date' folder inside SH3 Commander. Some files (older Bismarck stuff) will be overwritten.

The discrepancies in the dates (most of the above dates are a month early) exist because of the way the game handles career files. There is a delay of a month between the date when you're in port between missions (which is the date that SH3 Commander reads) and the date of the next patrol. So a paint scheme loading on 5 February 1941 (19410205) will be seen in the career only after 5 March 1941. The only problem with this is that single missions do not have this same month-long gap, so players have to be aware of this when setting up single missions.

In an earlier thread, Type941 kindly gave permission in advance for these skins to be included in SH3 Commander, so future versions will include these as standard.
