This seems to be one approach to viewing labels as numbers used as references. Or are you saying the text on a page does not necessarily correspond to that page, but rather a different page in the manuscript? Such that the text and drawings are jumbled up.
No, none of those has to be implied. Just, when you describe a certain plant, you don't name it. Suppose 2v is water lily, and the text is about water lily, but there is no word "water lily" in the folio.
Same for stars. Suppose 68r1 is the star map, but there are no star names (the reader has to know them without labeling). Instead, the labels contain information about (let's say, just for the sake of a possible example) what good or evil spirits are associated with respective stars.
