Double is linked to the Eagle Vistamp. This is likely because of the term "Eagle-eyed", meaning "quick to notice something; observant", like a detective, the Cyclone Gaia Memory's Wind Controlling Abilities, and the Extreme Memory

Den-O is linked to the Mammoth Vistamp. This likely not only refers to the fact that the DenLiner was called an Elephant in Ancient times, but also the hard-headed nature of Momotaros.

Decade is linked to the Megalodon Vistamp. This likely references the fact that both Sharks, like the Megalodon, and Tsukasa both are known to wander where they roam. The Megalodon swims through the sea and Decade wanders through the AR Worlds.

Faiz is linked to the Ptera Vistamp. This likely was because of how fast a Pterosaur could have been.

Kuuga is linked to the Lion Vistamp. This likely references Kuuga's Bravery and the fact that it was used by Riku, the former user who was born into the Rinto Tribe.

Fourze is linked to the Kong Vistamp. This likely references the large friend-groups Gorillas make and the fact that Apes were some of the first creatures in space before humans.

Gaim will be linked to the Kamakiri Vistamp, which likely refers to how the Praying Mantis has arms that look like they are wielding 2 Swords, like how Gaim wields both the Musou Saber and the Daidaimaru.

Zi-O will be linked to the Brachio Vistamp and will be the Mech Form for Revice. This will reference the Time Mazine.

So, there are references and connections between the Vistamp and the Rider. However there is more in the references within the forms proper. Revi Eagle Genome has a trenchcoat, which was a cut concept for Double's Forms. Vice Ptera Genome being the Rider Machine for Revi references the Auto Vajin from Kamen Rider 555 having a Robot Mode and a Vehicle Mode. The fact that Vice becomes a skateboard when he is in his Jackal Genome could reference both the fact that the Shakariki Sports Gashat summons the Sports Gamer, based upon a Bicycle and that when Ex-Aid used the JuJu Burger Gashat, it gave Ex-Aid Roller Skates.

Another interesting detail between Revi's Genome Forms and Vice's Genome Forms is that Revi's Forms more resemble the Rider that the form is based upon, while Vice's Forms Mainly resemble the Animal. While Revi keeps his base color scheme, Vice tends to use the original Rider's Color Scheme instead.

Though, I have a couple of questions about some of the Forms. One of those questions is that Some of the Riders have chestpieces that would make adding the animal relief to the Left Pectoral more difficult. Specifically OOO, Drive, and Build. All three of them have a weird thing with their chestplate. OOO has his chestplate with the three animals in the circlular emblem, Drive has the Shift Tire that is present in at least 4 of his Forms (Speed, Technic, Tridoron, and Dead Heat), and Build's Chestplate is a bit on the weird side as well. Though especially OOO and Drive. Also, Drive's Vistamp basis would require it to be based upon either Wild or Formula to be able to add the Vistamp relief on the Plate.

You forget/forgot Ex-Aid! How does he connect/link to the jackal?
