Royd recognized them as Zeidritz, Algora, and Hubert, and since Yamamoto wasn't the type who killed foot-soldiers, I believe they were Sternritter.

It does fit. The problem with this theory is that if it's true, Yamamoto must have killed those 3 shortly before confronting "Yhwach", and from the looks of those 3 in "Yhwach"'s memory, I get the feeling that those 3 died a long time ago.

Zeidritz, Algora and Hubert might have been high-ranked Quincies in Yhwach's army at some point, but "Yhwach"'s reaction upon seeing them and recalling their faces, were in my opinion that of someone who were faced with allies who had been dead for a very long time.

Liltotto, Meninas, Candice and Giselle were introduced after the 1st invasion, and Gremmy was introduced far into the 2nd invasion. It's still possible that the 3 remaining Sternritters will be revealed later, and I think and hope that will happen.
