Reason 1: Why would Mega toss in 3 marines that appear in other sets and a spartan that appears in another set? They've basically tossed the whole UNSC Combat Unit in there and I know that set is being fully released.
Reason 2: The marine in the white shirt. I've noticed with the new marines their upper sleeves are smooth like COD if they don't have shoulder pads. The white shirt marine has the indentations for shoulder pads but has none.
Reason 3: The battle rifles. I may be entirely wrong but it appears in the official sets they've been using this design for the battle rifle : https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/halo ... -mark-iv_1
I doubt Mega would change the battle rifle design in between the Halo Infinite lines of sets.

Point 1 - to my understanding, the UNSC Combat Unit was a Dollar General exclusive, so it wouldn't be as widely-available as most other sets. It makes sense for Mega to include some of the figs in another set for completionists who don't have a Dollar General in their area. Especially when one of the figures in question is the only non-green Spartan to be released for the Infinite line outside of the blind bags.

Point 2 - Mega has released a bunch of sets in the past where bare-shouldered figs have indentations. It seems a little odd for this line, but it's not out of the ordinary overall. There could also possibly be spare shoulder pads in with the bag of other parts shown at the bottom of the package; clearly not all of the weapons and accessories are displayed in the front of the packaging.

Point 3 - As Silenttakedown already pointed out, Mega's been all over the place with weapons moulds this year. The leaked image also could just be a prototype, with the old BR's and turret pictured as placeholders for something else.
