But Jun says in the cutscene that GAUNTLET, RED and ECHO teams were assigned to civilian evac ops.
From what TFoR tells, this was obviously not the case. No, I dont belive this one to be a nice reference to people who have read TFoR and FS.
Why not? Thge numbers add up? And the idea that Col. Holland's Spartans shouldn't know about Spartan II Ops is nullified by the fact that Kat hacked into unsecured and restricted information in the first place, which the cutscene states.

Well the headhunters didn't have MJOLNIR armor, they had different armor...so minus a few...
Why do people think that? It is obvious that the Headhunters wore MJOLNIR armour. Here is a post I prepared earlier:
Evidence:
"power armor", pg. 164
This may seem trivial but I believe it is an important piece of evidence. MJOLNIR powered assault armor is the full title of the series. We all know that the suits use powered mechanics to amplify the user's movements. Now look at SPI, the small power output of these suits is used to run the photo-reactive plating and do not enhance the user physically. Note the distinction between "powered" and "semi-powered".
"Shielding", pg. 164
MJOLNIR Mk. V and up are the only combat suits to utilise shield technology. it could be argued that "shielding" here refers to the SPI's coated plating being able to take some plasma fire, however, MJOLNIR's actual plates are also built like this and the technology is passive i.e. does not use any power.
"the advancements in their training and technology and equipment available to them" pg. 164
If standard Spartan IIIs were issued SPI then what would be an advancement upon that with regards to technology and equipment? MJOLNIR.
Av-cam / Armour abilities
Roland's suit was equipped with the UNSC's experimental av-cam armour ability, not to be confused with the SPI's photor-eactive plating. Firstly, SPI would not have sufficient power to charge/recharge such technology. Secondly, Mk. V [B] is the only canonical armour to date to utilise armour abilities. The Headhunters were noted to field-test any experimental technology before widespread use e.g. VISR.
Basically, the Headhunter's armour is too advanced to be any form of SPI.
