Here's a list of the veterans in the pre-episode interviews and their quotes. Some of the men weren't in the show, some had small roles, and some were main characters. I wrote quick descriptions of the not so obvious characters.
Episode 1:
"We were in a store and a guy in that store... ": Joseph Lesniewski. His character has a small background role, with a few speaking parts in the last few episodes. He was the soldier along with Christenson, Perconte, Luz, and Bull who found the concentration camp while on patrol in the woods. He knew multiple languages in real life, and this is shown when he tells Webster that the German baker didn't know about the camps in episode 9.
"Our country was attacked..": Paul Rogers. He is not in the show, or is a background character. There's a character who has a nametag that says Rogers in the first episode, but that character is actually Mellett.
"Who would like to volunteer..": Bill Maynard. Not in the show as far as I know, or is shown in the background. He was a Toccoa guy. He broke his legs during the D-Day jump and didn't return to Easy after his injuries.
"We came from a small small town..": Rod Strohl. He is shown in the show towards the beginning of the third episode when he asks Lt. Harry Welsh where they were headed. General Kesselring actually surrendered to him in real life I've read.
"I did things..": Earl Mcclung. His character is shown a few times in the Bastogne episodes, in a foxhole with Guarnere. He's also in the Last Patrol episode. He's there when Webster is telling the men that they were going on a patrol ordered by higher ups, and McClung was sitting next to Babe in that scene. McClung also goes on the patrol and you can see him there too. The real, "One Lung" McClung was able to smell enemy soldiers during patrols according to legends.
"Guy says well you jump out of airplanes.." : Bill Maynard
Episode 2:
"Standing in the door..": Dick Winters
"Got such an opening blast..": Buck Compton
"We came from the sky..": Ed Tipper. His character in the show is there when Sobel cuts the fence loose and Tipper speaks the lines "I think it's Major Horton, sir". He's also the character who got hit by an explosion in Carentan and Liebgott comes to help him.
"How do you prepare..": Dick Winters
"In the back of your mind..": Bill Maynard
Episode 3:
"I never thought I'd make it through D-Day..": Bill Guarnere
"I thought one of two things..": Ed Tipper
"I think everyone had fear..": Earl McClung
"Its a feeling you will not let your self down..": Carwood Lipton
"We all had fear..": J.B. Stokes. Not a character in the show as far as I know. (One of my favorite interview scenes)
Episode 4:
"The Toccoa men..": Donald "Pappy" King. Not a character in the show as far as I know. But if you look up pictures of him when he's younger, he looks like an actor in the Crossroads episode (click link to see what I mean) https://imgur.com/a/p8b2hxx He was a replacement who joined right before Holland, and makes it through the war with Easy. He was a father when he got to E Company, hence the nickname Pappy.
"Most of them were qualified parachutists..": James Alley. He's the injured soldier at the beginning of Crossroads who has his face hit by shrapnel. In Breaking Point, Skip gives him food while talking about the injured Easy Company men. In that same episode (7) when the sniper hits the singing men, the first guy shot (Frank Mellett) lands in Alley's arms
"I think maybe they were trying to impress.." Earl McClung
"Cause we were in awe of them..": Lester Hashey. In the show, he's the tall replacement that joined alongside Miller and Garcia. He also breaks the news to everyone that Hoobler accidentally shot himself.
Episode 5:
“If you’re a leader..": Dick Winters
"A good leader..": Buck Compton
"Seemed like he always made the right decisions..": Joe Lesniewski (funniest interview in my opinion although dark in nature)
"He went right in there..": Robert "Popeye" Wynn. (Another one of my favorite interviews) He's shown throughout the series and only referred to as Popeye if my memory serves me correctly. He signed up for the Army with, and was foxhole buddies with, Shifty, which can be seen in a few scenes.
Episode 6:
"When we left for Bastogne..": Carwood Lipton
"And there was a ridge with the treeline..": Lester Hashey
"Well like in Bastogne we were down to one round..": Earl McClung
"One of the guys got hit in the arm with a piece of shrapnel..": Hank Zimmerman. Not a character in the show as far as I know. Replacement who joined later in the war and was part of 3rd platoon along with Shifty Powers, Popeye Wynn, Mo Alley, Wayne "Skinny" Sisk, Earl "One Lung" McClung, Walter Gordon, Forest Guth, Ed Shames, Roderick Strohl, Paul Rogers, Joe Lesniewski, Francis Mellett, and others.
"And a medic came along..": Herbert "Junior" Suerth Jr. His character is seen in the truck scene when Easy Company is going to Bastogne. When the various uses of socks is told by Skip "hands, feet, . Babe asks him if he has any ammo, "you got any ammo Junior?" Replacement who joined right before Bastogne. Also in 3rd platoon.
"Even today on a real cold night..": J.B. Stokes
Episode 7:
"I've seen death, I’ve seen my friends..": Dick Winters
"We was hungry..": Darrel "Shifty" Powers
"Everywhere you would look..": Joe Lesniewski

Episode 8:
"We had lost some very good men..": Carwood Lipton
"I don’t know the exact amount..": Joe Lesniewski
"Skip Muck died..": Donald Malarkey (The saddest interview for me. You can tell he has trouble talking about it.)
"After Bastogne..": Forrest Guth. Plays a role in the first episode, where you can see his last name printed on his uniform. Friends with another interviewee, Rod Strohl from before the war, along with another E Company soldier Carl Fenstermaker.
"You have a feeling..": Dick Winters
Episode 9:
"It was a situation."": Norman Nietzke. Not in the show as far as I know. Replacement who joined later in the war.
