In both cases locals told him they were just ornaments. Moreover, what about the four swastikas that surround it- are they too just ornaments?

I might agree with the six sided star at Agra being a Hindu symbol, if it weren't for the fact that the Red Fort at Agra was a Moslem construction, not Hindu. It was in a region and at a time in history when there was significant hostility between Hindu and Moslem.
It is also known that the builder of the fort at Agra was quite politic in his leadership.
Of course, that doesn't preclude the star from being something other than a Mogen Dovid.
