Caveat: We do not know for certain whether the VMS "d" shape on 116v is a "d" or an "s" or a Voynich character, but it's reasonable to think it is maybe "d", "s" or both (depending on position, as in final position it might be "s", for example).
I have closer matches for individual letters, but I didn't post them because if 60% of the alphabet does not match well, it's usually a coincidence if a specific letter is the same. I was looking for good individual scores (for single letters) TOGETHER with a good overall score.
As you collected so many examples, and as you didn't show the best matches of individual letters, could I ask you, did you ever meet "d" or "s" that look exactly as the glyph "8" in the VMs, including those that on f116v? Excuse me, if I missed this.
