I get that, and I'm sure others do too - and as I and others have suggested before, your searches for images matching VMS ones could definitely be a potentially fruitful avenue of research.
But to determine the likelihood that the VMS tower is Babel, it's surely necessary to compare with other Babel images, don't you think? And in my view, the reasonable match with the Kircher tower doesn't come close to establishing that the VMS tower actually is Babel.
And it's *proof* of absolutely nothing. I suggest you really need to stop thinking of any speculative reasoning based on matching images as "proof". Even after 600 years, there's still zero *proof* of the meaning of any illustrations in the VMS (to the best of my knowledge).
