The very fact that someone is claiming scans from a book were self-produced CAD drawings says they should be deleted. No matter what, the claim of self-authorship is bogus.
We have CSD I7, the first part of which is for images tagged with what is clearly an incorrect fair use tag. Really there should be something like this that applies to obviously copyrighted images which the uploader claims are PD or some copyleft licence.
And unless it can be shown that the person did not realise that they were passing off copyrighted work as their own and purportedly licencing it as such, I would think that this would be grounds for an immediate ban. Policing the stuff that people claim as fair use and tag as such is a large enough task on its own without this sort of problem.
