Hey, I don't know how realistic would you like Ancient Greek towers to be, or how many variants could be done, but here I described how they were according to their function: 

 

And here a couple of images from the book I mentioned:

Basically, if the upper chamber had catapults, the roof was gabled, and the slits wider, with double-leafed outward-opening side-swinging shutters attached to the outside. Otherwise, if it also had archers, then it had an open fighting platform protected by a parapet at roof level, similar to the right tower of the lower picture. Cilindrical versions were harder to build but more resistant.

Hello! thanks for your reference, i belive you are talking about Wall's tower's this one is the defense or the scout tower wich is more gameplay-wise oriented.

Towers in general I mean (on the images they appear as part of the wall since that's the most common way to use them), there are reasons for everything mentioned: first they started with the parapet on the roof (you want to put people there also), and when catapults were used, the slits were wider, thus the shutters needed for protection, and the gabled roof to protect the machines from water. Meaning, you used the roof of a tower with catapults on the upper chamber, but the slits there are for archers.
