I agree that Hun, Magyar and Avar-inspired designs would be most appropriate

But for some reason, Turkic tribes, and those of the Crimean Khanates, always came to mind when reading about the Easterlings. This is possibly because there is something rather Byzantine about Gondor. So I often saw Minas Tirith during the War of the Ring as reminiscent of Constantinople being threatened by Turkic tribes in the Near East.

Why did PJ remove the Easterlings from the ROTK?

I concur with the Gondorian-Byzantine connection.

If you just concentrate on the capital of Minas Tirith, I would agree with you.
