Well a 12 man SF team operating far behind enemy lines, relying upon remaining undetected for their survival is vastly different than an Infantryman using a discarded enemy weapon in a conventional military action.
Of course SOG and LRRP teams fairly regularly worked with Cambodian and Chinese(ROC) mercenaries who also had the choice of more exotic than average weapon selection so I recon that a good amount of those South Korean made rounds where being used by those guys.Heck some of the non SOG SF camps "Mike Forces" where pretty large 100~200 men so you figure half of them might use an AK.

Of course the Cadillac of SF weapons was the Swedish K.I heard they became a bit of a status symbol for regular officers and many SF units would trade them off.
