Rifle squad size was always limited in the Army by issues with total strength, need to promote more maneuver elements (even if small) over less maneuver units (even if larger), and issues involving vehicle troop compartment size (helicopter or ground), as well some other various factors. But that's not exactly a good comparison either, because now we're looking at a ~250 Marines and Sailors in a USMC rifle company vs an ~130 Soldiers in an Army rifle company, one has nearly double the size of the other. But even that would be a flawed, because the Marine rifle company has a most of the support weapons in its weapon platoon that end up being distributed down to the rifle platoons and squads (such as the M240 machine gun teams), so it would be better to compare rifle company vs rifle company. If anything, a rifle platoon vs rifle platoon could probably be better to compare them, because then the Army's rifle platoon's weapon squad comes into play, and then they have M240 MMGs, Javelins/MAAWS. The Marines would have two drone operators, the Army none. No medics/corpsman, no forward observers. The Army would have three DM rifles, the Marines only two, since only one per squad. The Army would have have six M249 SAW/LMGs, but the USMC no belt feds, but all of them would have Infantry Automatic Rifles that dual role as carbines, AR, and DM rifles. The Marines would have two MAAWs in that comparison, the Army none. But that is two squad sized maneuver elements against three and no designated crew served weapons like machine guns. Sure, its six vs six fireteams, and roughly the same numbers (30x in two Marine rifle squads vs 27x in the three Army rifle squads). You wanted to compare two Marine rifle squads to three Army rifle squads, but that gets confusing. Just to emphasize, a squad is a not a universal organization, what most are referring to are rifle squads, as apposed to weapon squads, machine gun squads, mortar squads, etc. Operational Research and Experimentation in Wargames.
