@Psillycyber: Do you want to check whether the text has a low edit distance or not ? That makes sense, because it is a "special" feature of the VMS. The encrypted text is attached. I think the result depends on the type of encryption, but also on the language and content of the text. Words such as APPETITIUE / DIGERERE (encrypted ) are of course conspicuous. Tables can show very high repetition rates. I do not know if triple repetitions or more are common in other languages. The difference here is that the repetitions of char pairs appear as words. Other approaches rely on "true" word repeats. That should appear much less often.
@Davidsch: Thank you for your offer of cooperation. Just look at the attached cipher text. If you notice something that could in principle speak against this method, then your opinion is welcome. I also like to hear what should be checked. As for the method, it is about having something that offers the possibility of comparison with the VMS. Afterwards one could include the plaintext in a comparison. Currently this is of course not an issue. Now the task is to see if a comparison makes sense or not.
