There are various religious and political situations where secrecy is desirable for the person(s) involved. It's not possible to say much more than that, but I believe that secrecy is a part of the VMs. Trickery and ambiguity are some other parts.
The dual interpretation of the heraldry on VMs White Aries is set in place. Bendy, argent et azure, the Fieschi coat-of-arms, as a pair; this is a key. This is a key that only works if you know the particular facts of ecclesiastical history and heraldry. The origin and the presentation of the cardinal's red galero.
The primary option, looking at the figures in a radial orientation, is a dead end interpretation. The more subtle, page-based interpretation opens a hidden path to historical connections.
The White Aries illustration reveals that the VMs artist knows Catholic church traditions that were historical from the perspective of the VMS parchment C-14 dates. Anyone <literate> can write history. Not everyone has reason to manipulate and obfuscate historical imagery. The purpose perhaps is to create a disguise, for readers whose knowledge is contemporary with the author's. There is a level of difficulty in the degree of ambiguity. However this is nothing in regards to the significance of the non-event that occurs when an investigator fails to identify such tradition through the absence of essential information and relevant details.
The gateway to alternative interpretation is presented by the VMs, however, those who don't see it cannot open it. It is hidden and ambiguous, but tradition does not alter heraldic form and color.
