Well, they wouldn't carry an extra upper while they are in the field. That's just not practical. Special Forces pick their loadouts very carefully before they are deployed. If it's a mission behind enemy lines, or direct actions, they'd need to carry all the essentials and still be effective without being weighed down.

You have to take into account that a guy isn't just carrying his primary weapon and ammo. There's his rig that holds his extra mags, plate carrier, a sidearm, pack with other shit inside like food, first aid, and other mission specific items, radio.

For weapons, a team would need to pick the right weapons for who gets to do what. If they need a guy with a DMR, a guy gets a long ranged weapon. If they are all going in doors, they all get shorter guns. It really depends. Special Forces guys are a unit. There are no solo commandos in reality.
