VMS decryption scenarios

[Anton]

I do not know,  whether earlier anybody to publish arguments in support of the following statement. Page numbering is done, when in of the manuscript was an old wooden cover.
The worm has damaged figures 2 and 3.
Upper deep hole passes through the sheets 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7. Page 5 moved.
Who can comment on two writing style "3"? Slash with a horizontal line.

I think Rene Zandbergen touched the question of the wooden cover earlier this year in Stephen Bax's blog, although I don't remember if he meant these holes or other ones.
