I agree, these are the same group of Others that we've seen before, but with a new leader. Keep in mind that what we just saw were the Other three years after Ben turned the wheel to move the island.
Ben is told to move the island.
Ben tells the Others to go to the temple. (I distinctly remember that)
Ben turns the wheel, the island moves, and he is teleported to Tunisia.
The Others in the temple are safe from the time slippage.
Since their leader is gone, they appoint a new leader in whatever way the Others appoint new leaders.
Three years pass, during which the Others just stay at the temple. Otherton is abandoned.
The Ajira flight crashes on the island with Ben, Sun, Frank, and Locke's corpse.
Everyone else eventually shows up.
