I don't think there's ever been an Official Lucasarts/Star Wars
breakdown of the Empire's Military. But bear in mind that on the
Death Star those were all 'security' troops (kinda like what Marines
are on a Navy ship) and as such the heavier weapons would not
be common (the Death Star was not designed to bring troops to
invade a world, after all...).
The squad shown on Tatoonie is prolly typical of a garrison unit
(remember, The Empire considered Tatoonie as a small and
unemportant world - even Vader did not have any 'sentimental'
thoughts about it).
The troops shown on Endor is prolly more representative of a
assault task force (remember, Endor was an ambush setup).
