"We took the twisted few that had returned from that place. We built a frame around them, a conduit of their affliction. Gave them the weapons of the old ways. Gun and blade. A new warrior, a new code was born. These rejects, these Tenno, became our saviors. Warrior-Gods cast in steel and fury striking our enemies in a way they could never comprehend. Excalibur was the first."

MitchellManic I see what you mean, however it doesn't appear to be specificallly refering to excalibur prime in the codex entry. I seem to remember primes at some point, early into my days of playing warframe, being described as orokin attempts at upgrading the originals, but I'm not sure whether that was just something a player said or whether it was something I read somewhere.

But, as you said, it is a matter of perspective.
