Just something they're testing out for the war department.
To answer the question, I don't think those troopers are any different rank than any of the others (Bly excluded) in that scene... They're just regular grunts.
What's a "grunt" though? Isn't it a generic term to refer to combat soldiers who hold no command rank? They'd still have different ranks like private, etc, I would think. Maybe Anton's on to something.
If I was taking a page (or scene) from M*A*S*H, I'd say, Corporal Captain.
Anyway, this SW continuity **** is clearly no science. I'll just use my imagination. Before, I was thinking lower rank, but now I'm imagining them to be some sort of specialists; sharpshooters or demolitions or something. I stuck my two in with the three Evo guys I have, and so far I have one of them using the pistols where most of the others carry their rifles. Since I've had them, I've had one of the Evos (who I think of as the captain under Bly
) carrying the short rifle. I have him posed holding his helmet under his arm.
I really like that they made these reverse pauldron guys. Bly and the Star Corp are my favorite clone troopers. As inane and continuity-defying as GAR military business is, I like the variety these figures lend my little Felucia display. Bly and his command markings, plus macros; helmets on, helmets off; different pauldrons; 3 different gun choices. They look neat displayed together.
BTW, they do stand out with that clean, undamaged armor, though, don't they?

Anyway, it ought to have the Saga fig since it's pictured on the package.
