The VMS looks to me like it was never finished. Initials missing, labels missing, other signs of incompleteness.
Which means it may have sat in someone's household or studio for decades before someone decided to bind it.
It doesn't show the same signs of wear as foldouts that were carried around by doctors for regular use.
Whoever had it bound, whether it was 2 years later or 20 years later may have guessed the intended order of the folios.
