These two are not conventional martian Kataphracts. If you look more closely, they are actually detachable components of Saazbaum's Diouscouria.

Take a closer look at this picture This is the Diouscouria in "full flight mode". These two "independent assault kataphracts" form parts of its front section and can be detached to be used as combat support or to reach places that are too narrow for the Diouscouria or for places disadvantageous for it such as places where it cannot fly.

For example indoors, when it is too narrow to fly the Diouscouria is not much more powerful than a terran kataphract. It cannot carelessly use missiles since the ground could collapse above it and since it WALKS its stealth capabilities are useless since detection indoors largely relies on sound and visual confirmation. Well, it has a plasma blade for CQC, but it can't do shit against that heavy sniper used by terran kataphracts if it cannot take it out with missiles first.
