It is a very valuable attempt of identifying this sequence. The idea of the figure at 3 o'clock being a doctor is interesting and the explanation is plausible. As I said before, I'm not arguing that it's definitely something else, it's quite possible that the sequence in the VMS is a variation of the other sequences shown in this thread.
But for me personally to treat this not as a possibility, but as the most likely identification, it would take at least one example that matches some specific attributes of VMS at least in one image (like the lady with the rosary in Berlin/Karlsruhe above) or matches the whole composition well enough.
I'm not trying to diminish the importance of your find, this is potentially a very important discovery. But as I see it, as of now it is still lacking some specific connection between the VMS imagery and the other manuscripts.
