I just went and checked. In African kingdoms, when mamulukes are no longer classed as ships, they still take a bonus 3 damage from elite skirmishers.

However, they don't take bonus damage from camel archers (nor do they have a bonus against them).

So they're not cavalry archers, they just have an arbitrary weakness to skirmishers in true AoE2  style. It's probably for the best though, since they have very few weaknesses otherwise.
