I mean take a look:

[...] the Cataphract was set to become the Confederation's standard heavy 'Mech and a limited production run had already begun when the Federated Suns captured Tikonov and its Cataphract factory during the Fourth Succession War. This embarrassing defeat was further compounded as many Davion units, including the Crucis Lancers, adopted the Cataphract as their own.

In technicality, yes, but in reality it's both FedSuns and Capellan. Basically the reason behind having the Davion logo is missing the original context:

Damn, now I want that CTF image in front of an American flag, for some reason. I think my mind juxtaposed your sig' over that image's background. Oh well, whatever, really like the idea.

EDIT: I see the FedSuns as sort of the "Americans" of Battletech.

Edit: Fixed.

This is one of the more common grammatical errors that even some linguists don't know is an error. Its partner in crime is 'revealing', as in 'revealing' pictures of X, when it should be 'pictures of X in revealing apparel/garments/clothing'. As a general rule adjectives modify only the noun they're immediately attached to. This grammar-breaking convention of assigning adjectives wrongly was started by newspapers in an attempt to reduce word count, and since then people have gotten so used to it that it no longer feels weird, even though it's still grammatically incorrect.
