My book is smaller version of R.Shamasastry and R.P. Kangle version of Arthashastra translation. There are lot of drawing on battle plan and organization but no drawing of Catapults and other weapons.

But in R.Shamasastry or R.P. Kangle version of Arthashastra translation one can find all drawings.

For your query my book had refered verses {10.6.3-8,24,30,34}
and {10.5.3-44}

Ah, how interesting! These drawings are original illustrations from the Arthashastra or modern recreations by R. Shamasastry or R.P. Kangle based on the Arthashastra text descriptions?

Are these translations from Sanskrit for those catapult names listed correct? Do you know how they would be translated?
