Not to mention their reproductive (training new recruits) skills within the ruffian and apparently less organised and scattered groups of 'Gundabad' orcs?

To my view, the likeliness of Gundabad elite achieving and maintaining the same level of skill and gear as the much more consistently supported elite of Mordor would be ... less than likely.

They probably were sent with tech, knowledge of how to make good armor, and ample supplies. But Orcs don't die of natural causes, and so the knowledge was probably passed down among the elite that remained. Gundabad Uruks would have plenty of equipment, as their raids along the Misty and Grey Mountains would give them more than enough iron and coal to make Uruk Steel.
