That said, Limusaurus (which at least some analyses place as the sister taxon of Elaphrosaurus) is toothless as an adult.
Also, the hands in Limusaurus and Elaphrosaurus are among the most reduced in theropods, while known ornithomimosaurs have working (clamping) hands.

But note that the French ornithomimosaur apparently lacked a hand with fingers and had a stump forelimb (43+ specimens so far show no evidence of hand bones or digits). Manual elements (metacarpals) are known for Elaphrosaurus. The skull is also toothless and had a beak--no skull known for Elaphrosaurus so hard to compare.
