In the film about Admiral Yi Sun-Shin when he's going to battle these guys wearing swastikas show up to join him, who are these guys supposed to be?

Those are reverse swastikas, or sauvastikas, a Buddhist symbol. These guys, judging by their attire and shaved heads, are likely Buddhist warrior monks.
