I haven't keyed my data for double-story "a" yet so it's not easy for me to pull out the ones that are most similar to the VMS text (it would take hours to find them), but I can show a page of samples that illustrate how widely this particular letter varies.
These are from early medieval texts (where the double-story letter was common) and from later medieval texts similar to the VMS 116v script that still used this form of "a" (some used both single- and double-story interchangeably):

I have a lot more, but this chart is probably enough to give the gist of how varied they can be.
