This is much better, but I still think that the front left building 
looks wider than on the drawing. Perhaps it is just wide-angle distortion.

I believe the drawing is off.  If you move the camera back and forth, it is
impossible to get the particular view of the buildings that the drawing
represents.  This is especially apparent if you look at the buildings inside
the courtyard compared with the outter buildings... you never see quite that
much of them from this perspective.

Let me see if I get you right: when the model doesn't look like the 
drawing it is based on, it is because there is something wrong with the 
drawing. A likely story ;-)

Do you have other drawings, that tell you the how large the buildings 
are, other than the one, you have shown us?

Da plan...Which was used to get the updated positioning.

And, yes, I believe the drawing's perspective is off compared to the
exactness of the POV positioning and perspective.  Doesn't POV have an ORTHO
view?  Perhaps that would be a closer equivalent.

I that case, I would go with the plan drawing too. Those old perspective 
drawings does not necessarily follow the strict photographic 
perspective, that PovRay does.
