I don't think there are any 1/2-length left-legs on EVA-k anywhere in the VMS, and the loop is never that large.
It just doesn't look like k to me. Not at all. Plus the main leg goes way below the baseline and EVA-k doesn't do that.
If it is Latin characters (and I'm not sure that it is, but it looks like it might be), then I suppose P is a possibility (although they very frequently did not capitalize letters) but it doesn't usually go below the baseline either.
I guess that's why it looks so much like long-ess (or possibly long-eff) to me... because the leg is below the baseline, which was common for long-ess.
