Like Rob says, my understanding was that it was just part of standard pre-heresy crusader armour, like the mark4 helmets (?) - Now thousands of years old, it has a sort of archaic steam-punk appearance to citizens of Imperium. I like the idea of the power cells and jets needing to be a distance apart.
Edit: I'm reading between the lines here, interpreting via the main WH40K book I'm familiar with, which is the Chaos Codex for 2nd edition rules (when cultists were still allowed to fraternised with Beastmen and the Eye of Terror made everything possible ... Death to the False Emperor!).
