Well if he truly was an Ada Spirit, then you could argue that very much like the Daedra and Aedra his form could be whatever he wished it to be at that moment. Naturally it is hard to say the Aedra are capable of this since we have never seen them in game. But it is reasonable to say that beings of such power would be capable of it as evidenced by the Daedra Lords.
You may ask why I haven't said the same for Pelinal, well that is because he is a "reincarnation" (which is what I understand the Shezarrine to be at its core, correct me if I'm wrong) and not a spirit.
Honestly though I'm much more partial to the idea of people becoming more then themselves through the retelling of stories. So if anything I'd argue more for this. In this case the "Bull" perhaps being a reference to his strength as a warrior/pit fighter (which is why he is depicted as one in Oblivion), or his stubbornness in pursuing Alessia.

Rereading this (images broken BTW), I can't help but draw parallels between the Bull of Heaven title Mor bears, but also to the similarly named Bull of Heaven from Sumerian and such mytholgy, sent by the goddess Ishtar to enact her revenge against Gilgamesh and his city of Uruk
