Then you would have to have separate lines for the yellow entry code (and brown?) that aren't guards formations. Using the RG code implies that all units purchased from that RG code.Unlike the Rifles and SMG formations which use the same entry color code, the HW are not designated as "Guards". This seems intentional to me. Unless errata is issued to change the purchase chart to read "Guards HW Plt", I would say the HW don't get the bump.
Yellow doesn't mention any Guards units at all.
Red is "Elements of the 34th and 42nd Guards Rifle Regiments from the 13th Guards Division" then a non-guards "23rd Tank Corps, 62nd Army".
Orange is all "Elements of the 39th Guards Rifle Regiment".
Brown is all non-guards formations.
So the tank elements from Red are not Guards level formations. The Red and Orange are certainly Guards level formations for the Infantry. It's stretching the rules a bit with an assumption, but the Guns would likely be part of the Guards regiments or Divisions as well, if purchased from Red/Orange. Maybe not the AA Guns, but certainly the AT, ART and INF should stem from the infantry divisions/regiments. (Unless there were organic AT units in the armored formations...)
