So Spartan 3s wear the SPI armor. Not Mjolnir. Correct?
Why did Noble team wear it? Halsey even asked them about their modifications. And Jorge's firefight voice sample says something to the effect of "You generation 3s sure do get issued some fancy armor."
Broken canon? Bungie and 343 taking liberties? Was Noble the only S3 company to get Mjolnir?

Spartan-III's who showed exceptional skill and promise were removed from their companies and arranged into either headhunter fireteams or full blown squads. These Spartans were given much more advanced equipment since the liklihood of them dying was lower. This is why Noble (and possibly Gauntlet and Echo) has MJOLNIR while the rest of the IIIs are stuck with SPI.
