From the info in the FDB one can deduce roughly what the fatigue status of the enemy unit is. For example, if the box indicates a -3 or -4 modifier, odds are the firing unit is heavily fatigued. Not a sure fire indicator of course as quality and terrain has a role here too but an indicator none the less.

I should say if you have a fresh vs. a highly fatigued unit firing at you for real, you should be able to tell the difference.

Why would you know that? A bullet that hits you in the head from 500 yards away doesn't tell you how tired the guy was that fired it.
You can make a case for obtaining this information if you meleed with the unit and maybe if you were adjacent but I think we have already entirely to much information about our opponent as is. Fatigue level should be determined more like the officers in the war had too. Be aware how long the enemy has kept the same units in front of you taking fire. Watch for how ineffective their fire is relative to the size of their regiments.

Just my 2 cents but units very rarely fired from 500 yards and out. It's a waste of ammo. Put me in the camp of those who think you can tell a lot about the effectiveness of the regiment that you're in a firefight with, presuming they are well within 500 yards.
