You are trying to make the facts fit the theory.

Also, if we assume this were some kind of guild-related standard, it becomes even more odd that they are not mentioned in any accounts or records.

We have very few accounts or records surviving in general (and basically none at all from certain periods). There are a few books about agriculture, architecture, medicine etc. surviving but thats it. Basically all non political/military/religious/cultural texts had been lost
