I don't think the nominator of these characters referred to the characters from 'Living Witness' as Mirror Universe characters since Star Trek 'Mirror Universe' is a very specific Canon Alternate Universe, not just any evil version of characters/canon. IMHO they should have nominated them 'AU Living Witness B'Elanna Torres', 'AU Living Witness Janeway' etc if that was their intention, otherwise only confusion is generated. But if you are correct, a participant could offering for Living Witness versions of characters, and be assigned a recipient requesting for the book characters instead, or vice versa.
You can find more info on whom Mirror Janeway, Mirror Chakotay and Mirror B'Elanna are and what books are in here, if you are interested:
Memory Beta is the official archive for any information on additional canon outside the regular canon. Any info about books, comics, games etc is stored here. Memory Alpha is the official archive for the regular canon only: Series and Movies, since books, comics and games aren't generally considered canonical.
Many people aren't familiar with the books or don't even know they exist at all, particularly outside USA because in many countries they weren't published in the fist place, so I think it's quite unwise nominate characters under the series umbrella when they aren't from that canon. Participants have to be careful and not request/offer for 'any' characters or they would risk to be assigned the 'wrong' request/given the 'wrong' gift.
