Well, this theory, although not backed up by anything, has some validity. We don't know who these Spartans are, but I will just give a little bit of backing to this theory:
(The back of the novel; The Fall of Reach)
While the brutal Covenant juggernaut sweeps inexorably through space, intent on wiping out humankind, only one stronghold remains -- the planet Reach. Practically on Earth's doorstep, it is the last military fortress to defy the alien onslaught. But Reach's defenders have another, higher priority: to prevent the Covenant from Discovering the location of Earth.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers seem to have little chance against the Covenant, but Reach holds a closely gaurded secret. It is the training ground for the VERY FIRST "super soldiers." Code named SPARTANs, these highly advanced warriors, specially bioengineered and technologically augmented, are the best in the universe -- quiet, professional, and deadly.
Now, as the ferocious Covenant attack begins, a HANDFUL OF SPARTANs stand ready to wage ultimate war. They will kill, they will be destroyed, but they will never surrender. And atleast one of them--the SPARTAN known as the MASTE CHIEF--will like to fight another day on a mysterious and ancient artificial world called Halo...
So, other then the last part about Master Cheif, your theory of Original spartans could be right.
