certainly in the outer parts that are solely buddhist and hindi are those portions. Where the circles overlap are the shaded aspects.
Since my personal knowledge of both religions is thin, I leave that in your capable hands to insert in the diagram

In the middle: the Buddha (an avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism), reincarnation, aim of life is to be free from the cycle of rebirth
In the only Hindu part: asceticism, the Hindu gods (Shiva, Vishnu, Kali, Durga, etc.), the Hindu saints (Alvars and Nayanmars), the Hindu scriptures and epics (Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata), the varnas (caste), the Laws of Manu, the 4 stages of man (student, householder, forest-dweller, wandering ascetic), gurus, Hindu temples
In the only Buddhist part: the Middle Way, bodhisattvas, Buddhist temples and monuments, and maybe especially expansion to Tibet and China where Vajrayana and Mahayana practices, respectively, were elaborated.
