You found examples of similar glyphs. That is not an identification.

Note that Beneventan is not more than a particular style of writing that was in use in some limited areas in Europe in a limited period of time.

This time predates the writing of the Voynich MS by a large margin.

It is a name for a script. It is not a potential provenance.
The sideways (flying) letter 'm' (resembling the Arabic numeral 3) is unmistakably Beneventan.

The Beneventan script was still used in some locations during the 15th century (perhaps also in Dalmatia) and was available to the unknown scribes (most probably in the libraries of Benedictine monasteries) when designing their cipher.
