It certainly does! I wonder if there's a real life castle they are based on.

Your image says this is Orford Castle.

That's the cross section (circular keep) in the top left corner. But, I originally had the post title as Orford Castle until I'd re-read it a few times!

Look at the picture and compare it to the cutout. They're the same just the cutout isn't exact. The towers are wrong for one. But look at the base and they appear to be the same castle.

I would take it as artistic license.
