Looking at it I would concur that the imagery could be better Also the expectations are not clear to me, is a generic hut ie <Crtl><V> in JOSM or do you want the real size of the hut? Some tiles have the imagery listed in the instructions and some tiles do not.
There seems to be a variety of mapping styles some huts are drawn, others are dropped in as points.
