Now that i think about it, it could have been a rhinoceros and someone just added the 'plates' on the back.

If you look closely at top image, not how the 'plates' arent really attached to the body. It looks sort of ragged too.

I now think those 'plates' either represent sunrays coming up behind a rhinoceros, or someone added some blubs of cement on a rhinoceros relief.

BTW stegosaurs had a lot more plates on their back, and a small slim head not this this rhino-head. This looks nothing like a stego, so the dinosaur question aside, it ain't a stegosaur in any case.

I've also heard that in the ruins of ancient Babylon, statues and stone carvings have been found of dinosaur/sauropod like creatures with long necks and other features.

I wouldn't be surprised in ancient peoples discovered dinosaur fossils and used them as the basis for their drawings. That's probably where legends such as dragons came from.

just fer grins:

The Dinosaur Song

Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic,
Don’t ya know it’s funny how the time goes by
Seems like only yesterday we slithered out of the sea
And now we got to wear a suit and tie

For fifty-seven million years the dinosaurs ruled the land
But now they’re dead and that’s just fine you will conclude --
Now I’m not saying they weren’t real nice,
Once you finally broke the ice,
But some of them were really rude!

Oh, way out in Montana, although not very recently
Where the Stegosaurus grew and grew
Everyone knew he had hips like a bird and bony plates along his back
But he never would admit it was true
Out of his tail grew great big spikes and if you mentioned it he would likely
Whip that tail at you angrily
‘Cause even though his brain was actually only the size of a walnut
He was just as proud as you and me

Tyrannosaurus Rex had a head four feet long
And it made it tough to buy a toupee
His teeth were seven inches long,
And he had little teeny arms
And it made it hard to brush every day

Triassic period Jurassic period Cretaceous comma
Hey there Mama, where did all the dinosaurs go?
Some say a meteor hit the Earth and killed them all for what it’s worth
But then again we don’t really know
I can now explain at last, it wasn’t ice or greenhouse gas
That stopped their little hearts from a-tickin’
A caveman who had happened by
Discovered when they were deep-fried
Dinosaurs tasted just like chicken!

~Heywood Banks
