On the preceding page, it says that this is the image for the star "Cor Scorpionis", which is two scorpions of which one is missing the tail. So these are not depictions of the Signs or constellations, but rather images for individual stars. So unless I'm mistaken, this has nothing to do with the Arab habit of showing a constellation and its mirror image, as was suggested on the mailing list.

You're not mistaken. In this case it is a double star, not a mirror image (two viewpoints of the same thing). This manuscript leans more toward astronomy than astrology.
