For Benkei it's understandable : he isn't THE Benkei, but the guy who pass on their tales to future generations, and people associate his appearance and personnality to Benkei, effectively making him Benkei (something like that).

For Ushiwakamaru... I guess (s)he is a weaker Rider and a better Saber? Lore-wise, she is only using her 2 weakest Noble Phantasms throughout the whole story : Usumidori (the katana) and Hassoutobi (the jump-on-boat technique). Her katana has an anti-Demon form called Hoemaru that she isn't using at all. Maybe they'll make use of this whenever they decide to give us Saber Yoshitsune?

I wish they would give us True Benkei to play with, but that's very unlikely.
