I was thinking something similar, but if that was the case we should have seen some sign of it besides their fighting style. Some iconography or the like, but we didn't. What I think is the they were supposed to be Word Bearers, but they didn't want to simply stuff another of the big canon Legions in again )particularly one they have already used in a game), and thus they decided to change it last minute. They changed the name, the colors, the icons, but kept the fighting style.
