Two other joes are also wearing green berets, but I've never figured out who they are. Probably not Tripwire. And neither is Duke - he's elsewhere in the issue shooting down a Rattler prototype with a .45 (and a little help from Roadblock).
As for Snake Eyes, on the cover of Marvel issue 26 there is a picture of a SOG certificate, which means that sometime after his time as a LRP, SE joined Special Forces and started running recon. We could assume that Stalker also joined SF to explain the green beret and some of his language fluency, but his green beret probably originates with a factory error or cost saving decision, because Stalker's beret on the original cardback is tiger-striped like his uniform, which is what some LRP/Ranger units wore, but the figure had a solid green beret. So naturally the figure was used more as a reference for comic/cartoon renderings than the card art which is the original visual conception for the character. I myself like to imagine Stalker went SF, just for my own story purposes.

The then head of 5th Group didn't understand why a unit like Delta was needed when SF could fill that capability. There was alot of animosity and both professional and personal rivalry between the two groups. So much so that after Delta was up and running, that allegedly not a single operator with Blue Light tried out for Delta and none of them were asked to.
I still haven't read that book but did Blue Light become the basis for Commanders In-extremis Force (CIF) companies within SF battalions, which do the same kind of job as Delta?
