If the point was "does Ulm = Germany?", I'd say the closest thing to Ulmish steel plate in history was the Maximilian-style (ie, "German") full plate of the early XVIth century. And I'd like to think of my Ulmish infantry as landsknechts.
I agree too on that, Ulm infantry is very close to the Lansquenets (ok landsknechts) regiments. They were mainly mercenaries german though (except before 1500), and I have yet too see a merc company of Guardians (that would be cool!), but their weapons (long pikes 15' to 18', or big, very big two handed sword sometime) and armor fit very well into the Ulm theme.
