Register or Login to view.For the record, I don't know if it is clear to your readers from the comment on your blog, but I believe the SHAPES of the VMS glyphs are based on Latin and Latin abbreviations. The MEANING of the glyphs might be something quite different.
JKP/ I made a special reservation on the blog about the possibility of Latin abbreviations.

On the other hand, I don't understand why this evidence should rule out the possibility of a simple substitution cipher.
Example Q13. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
This distribution (density) of intersecting words (where the top part of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. without an epilogue is taken as the base of comparison) is provided with a lexicon of 177 non-unique words. This number, I think, can be increased by 10% due to possible homonyms, but at the same time it is necessary (with the cipher-replacement of characters) to reduce this number several times, since it includes the semantic meanings of words changed by persons, numbers, gender, conjugations. I cannot imagine a meaningful text with such a distribution of words from the lexicon less than 100 words (instead of 177), especially if we assume that the text is attached to pictures, since the distribution structure does not change when moving from pictures (themes) Q13A to Q13B.
