The rebel base layout would have to be something along this line as well:

Hey! I love those! You did again as you done it with the bespin's shaft.

It makes total sense and i dont care if its oficially or EU as well.

But despite the fact the awesomeness, the cannon is too low so we can see it from the window in the shot above.

The guy on the right (in the Hoth control room photo up above) is looking rather far down below him, but even then, I would think that any window would be to look out across the plains that the ion cannon would cover, as the ion cannon could (and should) have been used against any ground force attacking them. Wouldn't do the rebels any good if they had a big, huge honking cannon right in front of the window.

Even so, the reason I made the layout that way is that if the window is to be above the ion cannon the way you depict it in your mock-up, the issue is that the control room is roughly on the same level as the hanger the Falcon is on, which would make the Taun-Taun entrance higher up than the ion cannon (which can still be a possibility - mountains aren't uniformly connected to the ground, so you could have one side much deeper/taller that the other simply due to topography)

EDIT - okay, just read and saw Ady's post, so even if the window COULD be there, that is still a tactical viewscreen the guy is looking at. Even so, whether anything is done in the internal control room shots or not, I think Vaderios' mock-up is quite awesome and is an improvement over Ady's already much improved ion cannon shot.
