Here in Thailand we're having an extended discussion about towers that are associated with temples. I would suggest using man_made=tower in conjunction with tower:type=bell_tower for your situation. Our discussion is stuck on whether such structures are really towers and not monuments but in recent times we have used tower:type=stupa to describe the particular man_made towers that are associated with Buddhist temples or wats.
It would be nice to gain some consistency in the description of these common structures.
