Dave Scott's beta nametag was indeed red. You can see this in several training photos of him in his suit as well as some of the lunar surface pics. Take a look at the photo of the plaque on the LRV in the other thread. Scott's chestpack is visible in the background, and while a bit blurry, you can see the red lettering.

I don't know if the backpack PLSS tag was red too, but Irwin's appear to have been all black. I've also seen red lettering in some photos of Shepard (and on the Moonshot figure from Code 3).

The oddball in your group is Worden. I have no idea why the CMP would have red, as it seems other examples seem to have the red only on the CDR, similar to the red stripes on other suit components.
