It's almost impossible to say. Little Paulie was a top member of Paulie's crew. Notice when Tony uses Little Paulie to trash Carmine Sr's restaurant, Paulie is furious and yells, "LITTLE PAULIE IS WITH ME!". Tony was the boss, Chris was a captain, not a popular one. Paulie never bothered Chris for giving orders to Paulie, so it's definitely some strong evidence.

Patsy was a high level soldier. At various times he was a favorite of Silvio and Paulie. If he was under Chris, they wouldn't have even had much of a business relationship. I think he basically gave the envelopes to Chris, answered to his friends who were higher up the ladder. The whole time he was trying to weasel his way into a bigger spot, as we see in Made in America.
