It hasn't been extensively tested but appears to work. I've also adjusted the starting textures so that the recruitable Utraeans have the correct hand and feet skin tones.
Not sure if it will work on a saved game or you would have to recruit them again for the skin tones to work but the armor fix should work automatically on any saved or worn armor.
Here's a patch that hopefully will fix the problem
