Pauldron colors = rank?

Everything in the Star Wars canon universe is vague, it's not there as a replication of structures in the real world and isn't there as an encyclopedia of the universe, we can all put our own interpretations into what it should be but apparently Star Wars isn't real, but many would wish it was, I for one, beats real life  

 

But canon is canon and is what the CRL's are based on so we have to go with those structures and details

Let's also remember that in the 70's no one paid attention to such details.  Lucas just put people in whatever order to make the shot good.  Many people with different rank bars are called simply "commander".   That's why there truly was no rhyme nor reason back then - because there wasn't.   Anything you see on wikis etc. is all just retcon (for the OT stuff at least).
