First off, do some actual research on samurai helmets. There's a huger variety of shapes, patterns, and designs, obviously Samurott's isn't a 1:1 representation but certain aspects are represented - the elongation is meant to imitate the neck protection they often have. His mustache also represents the facemasks a lot of helmets have.
Again, the swords don't have to be literal katanas, that's fucking stupid, why would a Pokemon have a katana? Instead, they help form the shape of the shoulderguards seen on Samurai armor along with the sheaths, it's actually really clever.
