Surely, if "A" therefore "B" gives rise to complications, then: "A" and "B" and possibly "C" therefore "D" and perhaps "E" will be much worse.
Deriving conclusions from the similarity of a particular drawing the Voynich MS with a drawing in another manuscript is a typical example of the lemon/banana problem. There may be lots of other drawings in other manuscripts that are equally similar, and it is also possible that the similarity is coincidental. After all, the basic patterns included in it are fairly standard.
Also, in the case of the Oresme cosmos, the spirals are missing, and these are perhaps the most conspicuous part of the Voynich MS illustration.
It's a draw, in my view.
