I think those are some things of continuity errors. As you can see, in their first appearance, they have all the tech and nice suits. But when they appear in Ultimates, they look more like guerrillas.

I think they didn't know Hydra already made an Ultimate appearance already. But I pretend that many of their members were imprisoned and their tech confiscated in Requiem, reason why they don't look like a strong amry in Ultimates, they use S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons the most and Viper is not there, she's still imprisoned.

I hope they could notice that and fix it giving a similar explanatio to this one.
