Answer 1

Understand that Arthur and his warriors lived during the sixth century A.D. and were probably Romanized Celts, and Arthur himself may have been a commander in a Legion of native soldiers. As such the only symbols they would have used would have been the Roman Eagle and maybe a "totem" animal for their unit - much the same way modern Scout troops use different animals - possibly even a dragon, thereby being the basis behind the name "Pendragon", meaning chief or head dragon, as Arthur was in command of the cohort..

Medieval heraldry, or the practice of painting coats-of-arms on warriors shields, and all its esoteric rules and regulations did not develop until six hundred years after Arthur's time. The main reason for Heraldry was because of the all-covering armor and helms that developed after the 11th century - it became very difficult to separate friend from foe on the battlefield and sometimes only their brightly painted coats of arms stopped allies from killing each other. The practice of "tipping your hat" and the modern military right-handed salute have their roots in this period as well, as warriors would raise their visors with their right, or weapon, hand when greeting each other in order to identify themselves and also show they had no weapon in hand.

All the "descriptions" we have of this Knight's shield or that Knight's shield are all for the most part, inventions from one story or another, mostly written during the Middle Ages when Heraldry and its usage was a lot more common, so you could use the "rules" of heraldry to invent your own coats-of-arms for the Round Table Knights and probably be just as valid as the medieval writers' inventions. Arthurs' warriors would have worn chainmail hauberks, boiled leather cuirass, and maybe Roman lorica made from iron. Their shields would have been either the Roman scutum or the oval Celtic shield. Against the crude, rough, and piecemeal armor of the invading barbarian tribes Arthurs' warriors would have presented a unified, uniform appearance easily distinguishable on the battlefield without the use of personal heraldry.

this is the blazon, you will have to study heraldry to draw the designs yourself
