Dear Gerhard Fecher,

intuitively it seems clear to me, what happened.
You had to repeat the calculation for the special
k-values to get the energy values for the spaghetti-plot.
You took the potentials determined previously, but
forgot here the U? This could explain the discrepancy
between the band structure and the density of states.
