Backwards compatible
- Like its GEN1 predecessors it is backwards compatible—through hardware and firmware upgrades—with previous armor systems, including the Mark IV, Mark V, Mark VI, and the MJOLNIR variant of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers' armor.

As the basis for the GEN1 Mjolnir standard, many components of the original Mark IV can be used with GEN2 techsuits and VISRs after firmware updates. This hybrid GEN2/MARK IV [GEN1] suit is still used by select Spartan-II's.

Mark IV is the base mjolnir. Mark V added shielding and the capacity for an ai. Mark VI improves upon the Mark V in every way and the same with Mark VII for Mark VI. The Marks are more based around introducing specific technologies, whereas the Generations are more of an overarching armour system.
The MK VI GEN 2 armor variant was adapted from preexisting MK VI suits to support GEN 2 software, probably because 1. it saves soem of the money on making new suits and 2. the SPARTANs who wore MK VI would be more comfortable in it.
You could make it all work by arguing that GEN2 only offered a minimal physical performance boost over Mark VI. Negligible enough for the IIs, but enough for the IVs to be physically comparable to the IIs in Mark IV or V.
The Mark IV [G] variant is an up-armored prototype based on the standard Mark IV helmet. It served as the basis for all subsequent armor variant development programs, and is also compatible with later models such as the Mark V .
The physical architecture of two later MJOLNIR variants, the GEN1 Mark VII prototype and the GEN2 DECIMATOR-class Mjolnir, closely resembled the design of Mark V [B]. As late as 2560, the Mark V [B] armor could still be requisitioned by Spartans, upgraded to be roughly equivalent to GEN3. [6]
