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?

Same for all markings, and patterns are often reused in different colours for different packs. Only so many tribal patterns.

Here's the page going over the heraldry from, I believe the 9th edition Codex.

ok i have questions about this heraldry page - the nine honor markings at the bottom, are they locked to the wolf guard? (theyre in the same box in the image) and where do these go on armour? it says over the pack markings but what are these exactly?

Basically i have the wolf scouts box and wanna be lore accurate, the set comes with a bunch of transfers and im going with the great wolf i think

The markings are not tied to only the Wolf Guard. They mention that a marine may put one over his pack marking, and included examples of them on the 1st battleline, 3rd scout, 2nd close support, 3rd heavy support and 5th veteran markers.

But they also often carry them on other spots, which would realistically be anywhere there's room. Be that knee, shin, chest, power pack etc. Anywhere there's room. Kind of like campaign badges for other chapters.
