Strange figures from Essex for my King Arthur Army

Strange figures from Essex for my King Arthur Army
I ordered a ready made King Arthur army from Essex,  DBA 3 Book 2 81a.  All nice figures but when I got down to actually painting them, I found that the Spearmen were actually Saxon Warband -- SXA4.  Not only do they not look like Romano-British pedyt, some have axes.  They should have oval shields.

So either Essex does not know what the troops look like, or they made a packing mistake.  I want to ask for a change, but what should be the figure I ask for?

Here is what they sent for the Auxiliary and the Spearmen


In 25mm I have Footsore Romano British.  What Essex figure is best for this?
