Answer 1

Correlating these types of 3D and topographic map is quite difficult as the angle of view has totally changed as well as the scale also varies. It can only be assumed that may be the portion was that particular portion in the topographic map but accuracy is doubtful.

5b-4 was collected from D in the first map as the turnover of the contour (or rounding of the contour) is visible well from there. 5b-3 was collected from C in the second map as it was in a slightly lower portion than 5b-4 and can be considered as a different layer contour as contour intervals are small but again that scale factor matters.
