[Aztlan] Identification and construction details of Mixtec temples

I am constructing digital models of a number of Mixtec temples from paintings in the Codex Fejéváry-Mayer.  Preliminary results of my effort along with the reference images are at http://gregsandor.tripod.com/MxArch.htm

I based the models on the drawings with my best guess as to the configuration of elements stylized in the paintings.  Since bringing them to this level of completion I have seen photos of Monte Alban and Mitla that show more massive structures than I have modeled.  I am continuing to rebuild the models as I learn more about the architectural forms.

Can you identify any of these structures?  What elements have I gotten right?  What elements should be altered?
Where can I find archaeological information on any of these?  Are there site drawings available for any actual ones?  

Regards,

Greg
