I would definitely not assume they line up like that. Remember CO does this bizarre alternating buckets thing with nonstops vs. connections (e.g., you'll never see a nonstop published in E/T/L, and never a conneciton in W/S/N).

That looks like what posted for mileage, not necessarily what the bucket actually was.

The only data point I have for that is an upcoming flight is a UA W itin which mapped over to CO N for the CO-operated segment.
