I think there is evidence to show that Rapid Fire's program was the same as Paul Lattimer's program. For example, RF's file card mentions the Army's new school for "Fast Attack Maneuver". Lattimer's file card simply says the school is Top Secret. It's not unreasonable to think it's the same school.
RF's file card says that the object of the program was to produce highly motivated individuals with advanced technical skills for light ordinance assault operations deep within enemy territory.
Lattimer's file card says that the object of his program was to produce highly motivated individuals with advanced technical skills for assault operations deep within enemy territory.
The only difference is that RF specialized in light ordinance operations.
I think there is a reasonable argument for understanding that Rapid Fire and Lattimer went through the same program and specialized in different areas. They are both officers, so an MOS comparison doesn't exactly fit, but it's almost like Lattimer is an 18/11 B, and RF is like an 18/11 C - slightly different Special Forces/Infantry skill sets.
If these characters do represent different specialties within the same Program, then perhaps this can explain the different colors to the same toy mold. Perhaps the similarities of uniform start to make sense.
