Are the illustrations in 66r and 116v related?

(I see this as relevant to the thread since a marginal picture is very often added by a later owner or reader, which might impact the interpretation).


I'd like to offer a possible explanation for drawings that are almost the same style but not quite. I think it might be the same reason as the two hands being almost the same but not quite... blood relations... siblings or father-son, for example. Blood relations don't always have the same handwriting and drawing styles, but sometimes they do (twins, especially, but sometimes also other relatives).

Keeping projects in the family was very much a part of medieval society.
