Lance assumes Scarpa was a captain based on the fact that early communiques (approx 1962) to the FBI listed him as such.

The assumption is also based on the intimate relationship Scarpa had with Joe Colombo. That's a valid assumption according to the logic that a soldier wouldn't be able to directly associate with a Boss.
