Easter eggs are not by definition hidden. It might be shown prominently, but in this case, it's used as a set piece, not important to the plot.

Asking why something has the visual shape that it does is speculation, unencyclopedic and unsourced. This is a wiki. Not a blog. Your musings on the position of the box in this universe are even more irrelevant. Needless. Definitely not intrinsic to this wiki. Dragging Da Vinci into this doesn't change that.

The reference is to [the Doctor's] TARDIS (even that's an assumption, but a justifiable one). It's recognizable as "the TARDIS" even to people who have limited knowledge of Dr. Who. Linking it to "police box" just because it's a police box and not an actual TARDIS is counterinformative. Linking BBC to your wiki (and spelling it out in full) is counterinformative.

In this case, like in so many others, we just have to be brief on the subject.
