The explorer in question is Vasco da Gama though, not Basco da Gama, which goes against the complaint you're making about the name. The name Basco is still fine because it's one of those multi-layer Japanese pun names they love to use on Super Sentai, and should have been on the box, but given the interchangeability of B/V in the language and the actual explorer's name I totally get why it happened. As far as unusual romanizations on Figuarts boxes go, it's no Jimber or Ratorartar.
As for the official romanization of Gorenger and all its team members over the more logical "Goranger" and ___ranger, maybe it's some kind of legacy thing, like the way Riders up to Decade are still Masked but everything after is Kamen.
