Stenciled in red on the sides of those launch tubes is “FAVORITE”?!

You’re right - phonetically sounding out the Cyrillic. Well spotted!

The S-300PMU-2 was named “Favorit” and the S-400 started as a derivative of it IIRC, so that might be why. Who knows, they might even use the same launcher/tubes.
