I think, it's not a real name. He was a Strogov's chief by the game story (\Levels\Rolik_Lubyanka\sound_01_a.ogg).

Perhaps Zolotnitsky's chief. For example, general of Soviet counter-intelligence.

I think there's a mistake in one of the voice files used in White Head. In all of the German "script_37" lines (where the guards tell you not to enter the bathroom while the Standartenführer is using it), they refer to him as "Colonel Richter". Is the rank Standartenführer the same as the rank Colonel?

I'm not sure: Colonel (Oberst) ist a regualar military Rank (Wehrmacht)
Standartenführer is a SS-Rank.

The SS (Sturmstaffel/Storm Squad) were special elite forces foundet
by the Nazis. They use strange (funny sounding) rank names.

Perhaps they're taken from ancient military ranks or are just fantasy...

Update: Standartenführer means "Flag"- or "Banner"- "chief" or somthing linke that...
Update2: Yes I discovered the mistake too while translating...

No mistake here.
SS Standartenfuehrer == Wehrmacht Oberst == Colonel.

What's strange and funny in these rank names?

Standartenfuehrer means "Chief of the regiment".
Standarte means not only the Flag/Banner

Because they sound strange in German, non military and a
kind of fantasy like...
