Dear Lisa, many thanks for the specific feedback,
Yes, that could be another reason, though it amounts to largely the same thing.
I am trying to imagine the setup, and tend to think of a bunch of 'amateurs' rather than a professional group who are being paid. Nothing I can prove it with of course.
In the more amateur setup, I could easily imagine that these complicated diagrams would be left primarily to one guy, either because he could do it best, liked it most, or the others didn't like it...
That would not be a good argument in a professional setup.
The other particular thing about these pages is the need for closer interaction with the drawing and the draftsman, and one might venture the thought that scribe 4 was him.

It may indicate a scribe's particular interest, but I don't think it indicates a particular skill.
