Here is the difference in the Grunts. The colors and different head/back fixtures are a symbol of rank. i will list them to you from lowest to highest with a little explaination next to each. Or at least what their equivalent rank is.
Orange, Round Helmet, Pointed Back Grunt- Cannon Fodder, newbies
Orange, Flat Helmeted, Cropped Back Grunt- Cannon Fodder, not as new
Red Round Helmet, Pointed Back Grunt- Some field rank, squad officer
Red Flat Helmeted, Cropped Back Grunt- A bit more field rank, squad officer
Black Round Helmet, Pointed Back Grunt- Veteran status, bad ass
Black Flat Helmeted, Cropped Back Grunt- Veteran status, total bad ass
Hope that helped. There was also a mentioning of a White armor color inside First Strike, but all they did (in the one time they were mentioned) was push a cart of some sloshing fluid. Oh well.
