I'm betting this is the correct answer. The final iteration of the Spartan "Blue Team" before everyone got completely separated.
Sam doesn't make sense, since he only had one mission in Mjolnir armor, and that was the Spartans' first encounter with the covenant, and he died on that mission. His replacement in Blue Team was Kurt, but Kurt was taken by Col. Ackerman to train the S-IIIs on Onyx. By his presence with Blue Team on Sigma Octanus with John and Kelley in the Museum, I assume that James replaced him.
I will be very surprised if this is not Spartan Blue Team. However, it doesn't have to be. There is no guarantee that all of the Spartans on Reach were killed. We just didn't hear from them again. There is also the possibility that there are Spartan IIIs around, as the only members of Gamma company on Onyx during the events of the Halo games were teams Saber, Katana, and Gladius. There are potentially a couple hundred S-IIIs from Gamma company out and about (which means the radio transmissions could be "Sierra II 59 (Malcom)" and "Sierra III 20", an unknown S-III).
But that is speculating too much. Given the number and shapes of the Spartans in the banner, I think Blue Team is the best bet.
It would make sense if it was Blue Team, but it doesn't make sense considering John, James and Linda were trying to destroy a NAV computer, and never entered combat on the ground.
But we don't know the story for Halo: Reach yet, so Blue Team could very well be the answer.
^ Linda loved the Sniper Rifle, Fred had a thing for knives. And Sam died shortly after receiving the Mjolnir armor, and way before Reach.
