Yes and no.

Yes, that is what the rollers should look like "from the carpet", but...

No, the figure must be a "top view" not a "carpet view" because of the way the force vectors are drawn. If the figure were intended to be a "carpet view" then the force vectors would be wrong.

So, if it's a top view then the rollers are shown incorrectly; if it's a carpet-view then the force vectors are drawn incorrectly.
