Your drawing of Carcassonne has a completely different kind of roof from the VMS—it doesn't match at all.
Look more closely at the VMS drawing. The central tower is a saddleback tower, which has a very specific kind of roof that was in certain regions in the Middle Ages, and which, in some areas, had globes at the top or, in other areas, had flags on the top. This form of saddleback was frequently used to indicate portals (gates to the city).
