Not sure at all. I do think of Djoser's complex and the buildings on the east of his pyramid.
Heb Sed structures, and two buldings one associated with the south and the other the north. All those buildings disapear in the 4th Dynasty to be replaced by the mortuary temple. By the way I need to see some evidence of this northern chapel. I do not recall seeing it on any of the plans but I will look.
