Only on your headcanon.

Having real-life counterparts only making the heroes capabilities able to be traced. Potentially severely lower their mythical aspects as it could mean their mythical aspect are just rumor to boasts their ordinary achievement or making them considered as heroes, while they originally doesn't do any heroic act but an ordinary task of being a border guard.

KOTR is chosen for reason that its the only knight tale with connection to Grail legends. FSN is story about fighting for Grail, after all--their connections to Grail, do gave birth to strong mythical aspect on their original lore like fairies even Galahad himself, inspiring many writings.

Paladins themselves on other hand only another name to define government official knights, something that already exist on other countries beforehand without them showing up. They definitely not on same level of defining what hero is like Gilgamesh-- not when their fictional version clearly came after KOTR stories.

Charlemagne already out and he already defines Paladin power level as he have access to all Paladin signature weapons, among them, none of it displaying somethings worthy of EX-rank weapon, even his own Joyeuse but his personal skill that grant him access to his NP.

As far it still subject of change, I still see no reason to put Durandal on EX while Nasu already set the bar of EX-rank weapon with Ea and Vasavi Shakti.
