Redmages can't come from gald because of the sword+shield. Red mages fit better a fencer class (SE announced the fencer back in days btw)
same for geomancer, it often comes from fencer, though it would fit perfectly the hippy yay way of conjurers

The dark knight will probably swing a claymore, so unless marauders become suddenly able to swing these as well, it's unlikely to happen.

finally, beastmaster (whips) and blue mage (either staff or sabers) can't fit the same class either, and it's sad because they would go so perfectly together.

The others are good guesses I think

as said before, katanas can't replace the spears :/
