I hope not. "Felt" cataphracts (if what they were armoured with even was felt; that comes down to the meaning of "stolas") were used once in exceptional circumstances, almost certainly to protect against poisoned arrows, and even then only the vanguard of the cavalry unit, 100 out of 300 men, were equipped with this kind of defense. Historically, these have about as much right to be a unit as flaming pigs.

2) Jewish heavy infantry kleruchs ?
Based on what historical evidence? I don't think we know how Jewish klerouchoi were armed (though maybe Paul can correct me on this).

3) Elite Nubian : Bow + Obsidian Mace
What makes you think that an "elite" Nubian archer unit existed, or that their weaponry was made of anything other than wood and bronze or iron?
