Well, even if only a few units within the Seleukid army are depicted with scale armour, they are historically inaccurate.

First of all, there's no real indication that "elephant riders" would be differently equipped than any other kind of akontistai in the Seleukid army. Secondly, they would simply be regular troops from within the army, and so would be equipped most likely in the Greek fashion.
