I'm not convinced that was supposed to be a retcon of the Arbiter armor. For the most part, that comic series is pretty good about mixing and preserving the visuals of Halo 3, Reach, Wars, and 4 together. One example is that you see two different variants of Banshees flying together.
There's a five-year gap between Halo 3 and Escalation- it's possible that he's wearing the armor of the Vadam Kaidons. And the reason for the similarities could just be that Thel is identifiable.
