So (if I may fantasize for a bit) it could be that we are looking at a source at a rather precise intersection. It was used by Lauber and the VM, but Lauber got the arms uncrossed. The fact that he does have some awkward half-crossing going on does suggest that his images derive from crossed arms as well. Additionally, I've written about more indications that Lauber and the VM Zodiac have a shared ancestry (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
Simultaneously there's a line of proper crossed arms imagery going from mid-14th century Paris to late 15th century Augsburg. And we have.. two or three dots in between? One of them is the VM.
