It's kind of a fascinating cultural thing. In Japanese culture, everything has a spirit, so it's no big deal of a bike or a tree does something weird. A robot with a soul has no big fear for them.

And Orks are from Florida. Grows off da moss ye see. Meets at the waffle House for a good Waugh time.
Does this mean Custodes are the Dutch?
I don't know the lore or the Dutch well enough to speculate on that sadly.
I'd personally go with the Swiss. You know, Swiss Guard, mercenaries, totally-not-the-master-race-we-swear, all that.
That would work. The Dutch are tall, but seem to be more into trade than war.
