still 6 tusks would be BA.

But still these were larger than average elephants simply based on how the rohirrim were described to kill them, and how they are compared to minas tirith, they would be at least 12 if not 15 blocks tall.

Plus a normal elephant can have anything resembling a tower on its back, the closest we see irl is a small platform able to hold 6 men, nothing like the 20 haradrim mentioned in the book.
