The children as adults thing is certainly true. Though in that case they precisely don't have these proportions. The VM proportions do resemble those given dwarfs and pygmies in certain Roman and Egyptian art. Especially also the wide upper legs are often seen in dwarfs. Though then again, I can't think of any reason to put a manuscript full of dwarfs or pygmies...
