—“Does William James belong to the “anglo science” team?”—

anglo = british, scottish, american etc. and ‘radical’ empiricism.

Technically I would say yes. But you just gave me an idea, which is to chart the development of psychology by pseudoscientific(jewish), literary/continental(german-jung), and scientific (anglo-james et all) That might be a fun thing to draw up.

So to understand James, think about his time frame. We had theological idealism, then philosophical idealism, then Darwin, and then we had empiricism and pragmatism. So he was part of the transition from Freud(pseudoscience), to Jung (continental literature), and to James (anglo empiricism) and Pareto

As in all things.
