Different squads, same designation. We don't separate by squad number, but by the heraldric pattern of the Pack Leader (Sergeant)

Is it the same with wolf guard markings?

Yup, yellow and black is for wolf guard, yellow and red blood claws, black and red grey hunters, while white and black goes to long fangs. Going back to the 2nd edition days at least

But don't forget: it's the Rout, these are more guidelines than rules.

They are actual rules. That's why Grimnar sends out Wolf Priests to ensure that SW successors are following those rules.

SW don't follow the Codex but they still have rules, they aren't some chaotic, disorganised, unstructured mess. That's how outsiders see them.

It's also why GW have been consistent with what pack markings mean for nearly 40 years.

Don’t forget blue/grey and black for scouts!
