Oy, time to clear up some discrepancies with this thread:
Yes, it seems most plausible that Sierra-259 and Sierra-320 are Spartan-II's, albeit a possible second class of Spartan-II's (which is theorized by Halopedia).
The original class of Spartan-II's could of been serialized from 1 to 300 for the following reason (which is supported by Halo:FoR):
-The program started with 300 candidates.
-Out of this 300, 150 were deemed worthy enough for investigation and field research (such as Dr. Halsey and Lt. Keyes investigation of John-117 before he was deemed a worth candidate and kidnapped or "conscripted" if you will, into the program).
-Out of the 150 investigated, the program only had budgeting to select 75.
From there the numbers vary, but Spartan-II's could of been #'ed all the way to 300.
BTW, this does NOT explain Sierra-320's designation. She is without a doubt, over the normal serialized class of numbers.
The Spartans mentioned in the video COULD be Spartan-III's, and they DID exist at the time Reach was glassed. HOWEVER, out of the three companies trained, only Gamma company was still alive. Alpha & Beta were KIA due to their respective suicide Op's, and Delta Company hadn't been trained, or even arrived for that matter, before the Battle of Onyx occured. It also seems highly unlikely these Spartans were of the -III class because those Spartans were not only serialized by number, but by company (i.e. Spartan-G255 or GAMMA 2 5 5).
The Spartan's secret all clear code is NOT Oly Oly Oxplenty (whoever said this needs to brush up on their Halo.....seriously). It's: "Oly Oly Oxen Free", with the counter response being "We're all free".
Please people, brush up on your Halo materials. And whoever said Sierra-259 is Malcolm.....in the nicest way possible......no, you're wrong. That's all I'm going to say.
The banister picture shows a bunch of figures, and some of them could be of Spartans, but its probably just media. The Spartans DID just receive Mark-VI armor before Reach was attacked.
Please don't misunderstand, I want to be clear as possible on this. I'm not trying to be rude to anybody, but if you post something incorrectly, I WILL correct it.

Hoorah!
Oh by the way, Malcolm died on impact during the hotdrop. Seeming that you did point out that Reach was partially glassed, Malcolm would have already been dead.
Or maybe Spartan ghosts talk over comm. channels too...
