If I remember correctly nothing of the Mjolnir armor system is copied from Elite armor. At the time the Mjolnir armor system, and later the shielding system, were being researched the "Elite" soldiers of the Covenant were still something of a mystery, at least according to the way they were regarded in The Fall of Reach.
My understanding is that the shielding system used on the Mjolnir armor was an innovation based off of the Covenant ships shield design. I remember Halsey selling it as an improvement of sorts as well.This.
In a nutshell, Elites weren't seen before. Jackal shield adaptations were used for MJOLNIR.
