suggest to me that they are probably not 'the same thing'.
However, they are very much the same style.
Not having any art background, I would not know how to identify an artist hand with any kind of certainty.

f40v and f86 indeed do appear to be related, even if there is not an exact match; however, when analysed individually, I believe that they each represent separate entities. The flower in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. resembles a cactus flower.

f86 is found on the 9-rosettes folio. In my opinion it reflects on the brightness of a New Heaven, Empyrean.

On might say that there is a connection between the plants and flowers on earth with heavens of the angels and God.

f40v to me, seems like a variation of Apiaceae, something dill adjacentpiAp. While it doesn't look much like modern dill it looks like the arabic interpretation in a translation of materia medica: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
The seed pod is also similar : You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Modern dill doesn't have such bulbulus roots, but something tubular, however fennel and other relatives do have bulbous tap roots.
