I also feel that the e shape points to the names being written closer to the 1533 date rather than later.
The writing became a lot less formal in the 16th century and the last remnants of Bastarda visible in the spiky "e" should have disappeared already around the end of the 15th century, which is my preferred date. We may have an outlier with a normal 16th century writing except for the "e".
