Could just be me misreading it though, or missing some other clues and cues.
Agreed and I can pin it down to two things - SS asks what it says on Stalker's orders when they pull up outside of 13 Rue Pasteur, which indicates to me that perhaps they came from different units and weren't sent as a group.
Also, when SS gets shot by the drive by VC, Stalker shouts "hey wait for me!" as SE commandeers the jeep to pursue him but SS tells Stalker to let SE go as he'd only slow him down. This indicates to me that Stalker doesn't know SE very well.

It's so hard to pin down anything definitive since LH had a tendency to ret-con stuff. In issue 10, when SE's in the Brain Wave Scanner, Venom mentions that one of the images appears to be from the fall of Saigon. Then, of course, the SE Trilogy has them there in early '68. I suppose it would be easier if he had either established a timeline and stuck to it, or on the other hand, just been vague about when they were there.
Ramon re-upped shortly before the ambush (2 weeks apparently), while he still had 3 months left of his first tour, to prevent his little brother from having to serve in Vietnam. The description of him was that "...he was a two-digit midget beaucoup short-timer." if that means anything specific to anyone?
Dickie Saperstein is also described as a short-timer with 2 months before he was due to rotate home when he re-upped for a cash bonus for an operation for his father. Father died on the table, mother went mad but Dickie continued in Vietnam - there is no exact timeline here, but the assumption is that he's probably come through to about a year or so in country, with another year left before he's killed (well my assumption anyway).
That's all from the final issue, nothing specific about SS, SE or Stalker.
