I don't think I'd make too much of it. Those are Christian images, not Jewish, and the "Jesus Family Tomb" would have started long before they considered themselves Christians.

The attested tombs are nothing like the ones shown in those images (which date variously from about 300 AD to about 1200 AD.) The tombs shown, like the clothing, are a reflection of what people wore and did in the time when the artist lived. If you went by those pictures, you'd also have to conclude that Jews and early Christians of that time wore hoppelands and cottes as well as Roman togas and robes.

Here's the traditionally attested tomb of Lazarus. Note that there's no chevron-thingy :
[198.62.75.1]

Here's the entrance to the same tomb:

And, for what it's worth, the longstanding tradition in Jerusalem is that THIS is the "tomb of Jesus" :
