Is it a safe guess the color coded grill numbers correspond with the company the truck is assigned to?

Exactly, here's the companies in North Haven
Headquarters Company No. 1 - Career station (White) - Engine 1, Truck 1, Emergency 1, Emergency 2 (spare)
Montowese (pronounced Mon-To-Wheeze) Fire Company No. 2 (Blue) - Engine 2 & 8
West Ridge Fire Company No. 3 (Yellow) - Engine 4 & 6
Northeast Fire Company No. 4 (Red) - Engine 5 & 7
As for why there is no Engine 3, I assume that designation was used at Company No. 1 for their second engine company. At least on both the North Haven FD and the Local's website there are older pics of Engine 1 and Engine 3 together at the old headquarters firehouse on Broadway (located across and down the road from the current HQ). I don't know if that it was used before the organization of Co.'s 3 & 4 though.
