It seems that “Picatrix Latinus. Ikonografia planet i planet dekanicznych w rękopisie krakowskim” by Ewa Śnieżyńska-Stolot can be read You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

I was unable to copy and paste the text, so I typed the passage that discusses the three figure on f.180r (it's on the first page, search “180r”).

Polish:
Tekst karkowskiego  Picatrix Latinus jest niekompletny i zawiera tylko ksiegi I i II (rozdzialy 1-11), a umieszczony jest w rekopisie 793 (k 171r 197r) obok innych zebranych tam tekstow o charakterze astrologicznym, alchemicznym, medycznym i magicznym. Krakowski Picatrix Latinus spisany jest na papierze dworm charaterami pisma: pierwszy od karty 171r do gornych wersow karty 186r oraz drugi od karty 185r do karty 192r.  U dolu karty 180r zanjduje sie odreczny rysunek trzech planet dekanicznych zodiakalnego Byka wykonany minia zapewne przez jednego z kopistow (Ameisenowa 1958 s.181). Glowny zbior ilustracij, czesciowo tylko wykonczony, znajduje sie na koncu tekstu (k. 189v-197r) i zawiera wizerunki 28 planet (zachowanych 26) wedlug czeterech tradycji ikonograficznych (k. 189v.192v) oraz wizerunki 36 planet dekanicznych wedlug systemu Teukrosa z Babilonu, zgodnie z ktorym Mars rozpoczyna i konczy porzadek tych planet (k.193-197r).

Slightly tweaked Google Translate:
The text of the Karkow Picatrix Latinus is incomplete and contains only books I and II (chapters 1-11), and is located in manuscript 793 (f 171r - 197r) alongside other astrological, alchemical, medical and magical texts collected there. The Krakow Picatrix Latinus is written on paper with two characteristic letters [different hands]: the first from the 171r to the top 186r and the second from the 185r [186r] to the 192r. At the bottom of folio 180r, there is an odd drawing of three decanal planets of the Zodiac Bull made probably by one of the copyists  (Ameisenowa 1958 p.181). The main collection of illustrations, partially completed only, is at the end of the text (c. 189v-197r) and contains images of 28 planets (preserved 26) according to the fourteen [XIV Century?] iconographic traditions (f.189v-192v) and images of 36 decanal planets according to the system of Teukros of Babylon, according to which Mars begins and ends the order of these planets (f.193-197r).

The reference to Bull (Taurus) seems an error to me. The text mentions Aries and the images seem to me those of the decans of Aries. It would be interesting to read Ameisenowa's work (also mentioned by Lang). But I guess we need help from Poland for that.

I hadn't noticed before, but the fact that the hand changes at the top of 186r is quite clear (the reference to 185r must be a typo, since she says one hand ends at 186r and the other begins at 185r). Since the second hand also wrote the captions of the good-looking figures at the end, it seems reasonable to think that the first copyist (180r) was a much worse illustrator than the second one.
