Sure, some greeks were in the lower classes, but the vast majority of the lower classes would have been natives, thus most lighter (i.e. poorer) troops would have been native. Why would we show the abberation rather than the norm? Why would the greeks have put the fairly few poor greeks into the howdah instead of the more numerous, and probably more experienced, locals?
