I found "shed dormer"for "Schleppgaube". Would this one be "nested shed dormer"?

(shed) dormer with tiled slanted cheeks
Diese Art Gaube scheint es im zielsprachlichen Raum gar nicht zu geben, weshalb eine Um-/Beschreibung nötig wird.
Vielleicht könnte man, wenn es um eine einfache Aufzählung ginge, diesen Punkt aus Lokalisierungsgründen auch einfach weglassen ...

tapered shed dormer
Shed dormer (also known as an "eyelid" dormer: A dormer (window) whose eave line is parallel to the main roof eave line.[2] Shed dormers can provide more attic space and head room than gable dormers, but cannot be the same pitch as the main roof and may therefore require different roof sheeting. Often used in gable-roofed homes, a shed dormer has a single-planed roof, pitched at a shallower angle than the main roof.
From English Wiki - looking at the German Wiki you have several drawigs of shed dormers I arrive at 'tapered' on the basis of the drawing of a liegende Schleppgaube there.
