I think its simply an modified or different era AR.
In real life you've got M16 Vietnam version, then M16A1, then A2, etc
Youve got the L85A1 then A2.
Think about it... armies aren't ALL armed with the same things, you've got supply issues, and getting rid of the old stuff takes time, blah blah blah.
Commander Keyes ship is a fairly new one, with a full compliment of brand new gear and soldiers, and as a result are kitted out the best they can be.
And look at the armour, its Tan coloured. Unless this trailer is from slightly later on in Halo 3, it cant be MC as he hadn't had time to change... unless somehow they've incorporated multicam into the armour (j/k)
