It was. That and responsibilities within the Covenant. This was explored in "Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss" in Halo Evolutions by Eric Raab. Seems like half the reason that story was written was to explain these differences fictionally.
Always disappointing how people tend to overlook or forget about these things. :(
It's not a retcon guys. It's just a different variant of Brute. Not all members of their species look exactly alike.
