Your half right, Horse and Camel mounted units dont have seperate HPs for the mount and rider, but all other mounted units do, including Elephants and Chariots!
As for the elephant crew dieing, I have actually had one of my archers on the back of some Parthian war elephants kick the bucket, but only once, my best guess is how the game calculates hits, most likely through collision detection between the arrow model and the targets model. The elephants model probably has hit boxes so big, that it takes a miracle for an arrow to hit the crew, or something like a ballista which can pierce hitboxes.
On a side note, one reason why chariots hurt so much may be.....

Hmmmm, 1 hit point for each crew member, and 4! for the chariot + horses?!? For the chariot archers its a crazy 2HP for the crew, and another 2 for the chariot. Perhaps lowering of these HPs will really help tone them down, particularly the 'watch me carve up your helpless infantry' factor.
