I think this is so unlikely, that we may safely rule this out.
The above considerations raise a simple but important point that is sometimes forgotten by those who claim decipherment of the VMS - namely, besides proposing the encryption mechanism , the decryption mechanism shall be demonstrated as well, such that it allows for unambigous reconstruction of the underlay plain text from the overlay cipher text. Indeed, it makes no sense to encrypt something in such a way that you cannot decrypt it afterwards.
