Greece then took delivery of approximately 3 Patriot systems in 1999, and another ~6 between 2002-2004. I assume these are PAC-3 systems, which aren't designated as a MIM-104 variant, or with designation in the US system for guided missiles and rockets at all. There is a separate entry for some 200 MIM-104 PAC-2 missiles (not systems) delivered between 1999-2000.

These are probably early PAC-3, configuration 1 or 2, without the new missile capability (the PAC-3 hit-to-kill missile, the one without a MIM designation). Now it could also be older PAC-2 systems as well, but I doubt Greece would accept GW1-era oldies in 2000.
In game terms, this pretty much matches the version in the US and Greek OOBs, maybe with increased accuracy and/or EW to reflect the guidance improvements as described on

The PAC-3 system incorporates many changes to the ground equipment and the missile, and is fielded in incremental steps, called Configuration 1, 2, and 3. PAC-3/Conf.1 was first fielded in 1995, and incorporates changes to the ECS, a new pulse-doppler radar processor, and the MIM-104D missile. PAC-3/Conf.2, introduced in 1996, includes Link 16 JTIDS (Joint Tactical Information Distribution System) compatibility and further radar improvements against low-RCS targets and anti-radiation missiles.
