Is anyone aware of any studies that quantify the differences between the
operating costs of an IPv4 network using private addressing vs. an IPv6

I've not but I'd be interested to see _real_ calculations.
I assume from your wording that you're referring to an IPv6-only
network. If so, my suspicion is that the costs can be high as you
need to live on the bleeding edge, i.e., are the one that'll find the
bugs, need to get a lot of consulting to get the network to work as
v6-only, etc.
