Usually, when I think of 'power armor' it's on a scale where it
wouldn't get confused with any sort of 'walker' vehicle.
Something about a half step up from heavy military armor, large enough
to incorporate servos and gyros to add strength and weapon stability,
with some external mounting points for weapons usually considered too
heavy to be man-portable.
The closest thing from actual SR would be the suits of armor worn by
the Rhiannon Glendower, Countess of Snowdon's Knights of Harlech,
described on p. 127 of the London Sourcebook.
