Umbar (the city) is literally Jerusalem and the wider region is the Levant. I don't care if you don't want comparisons because that is simply the facts.

It is an ancient city It has been contested between Gondor (Rome) and Harad (Muslim Empires) for centuries             It is a holy site to all who wish to possess it.

Sound familiar yet?

I know you may not like comparisons but the fact is that Umbar perfectly fits the description of Jerusalem. So I don't see how it would have Asian style armour.
