Most of those monuments show what the family wanted to show on their monument. The don't necessarily show what they wore in battle. There was a tradition of "heroism" and that involved traditional/classical motiffs rather than what was actually worn at the time. IMO these monuments show a disproportionate amount of musculatas for that reason.
