The Shine-Dalgarno sequence and base pairing between the mRNA and 16S rRNA are associated with prokaryotic translation initiation, not eukaryotic. Eukaryotic translation initiation does not involve a formylated Met-tRNA (that's also a prokaryotic feature). Initiation factors IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3 are specific to prokaryotes; eukaryotes use different initiation factors (eIFs).
