You are right about the descriptions in the wiki.
The pictures I have about mast and tower 'in my head' are clearly

A usual difference I take into consideration is the accessibility:
A tower can usually be walked on - a mast can usually only be climbed on.
Said this, the fire observation 'towers' came into my mind:
Walking around a single pole mast structure:

And climbing inside an open tower structure:

Why is the real life always so difficult? ;-)
