If a single item in the MS matches very well visually with something else, this is a good reason for investigation, but this is not a good reason to just claim that A is B, case solved.

The system that unites visually similar features of not just one but several items (sideways flying 'm', 'V' and 'U', possibly 'G" and 'C', and an 'O' shaped shield) is the Beneventan script. 

The most striking feature is the suprascript of said 'm'  which is unique to the Beneventan script.

The breakthrough here is the realization that the red embellishments in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are actually readable Latin letters.

One could continue doubt it to a certain extent. However, there is now a new line of investigation that has never been considered before.
