There are markings from BOTH Hindu and Buddist.

Guess what? I’ve been there. I make it a point to visit temples, chapels, churches, alters in every country I’ve ever travelled for work.
The experts you ‘cite’, arent IMO. Of course some of the imagery is similar being that Buddhism’s start was in Northern India but, no.. It was built as a Buddhist temple, not Hindu.
And no,,, there was no real ‘split’ of Hindu and Buddhism and the temple was obviously built after the emergence of Buddhism unless you think that didn’t first happen in India and branch out from there or that the design of Borobudur is not that of levels of enlightenment?
