To echo Koen, this is an exceptional similarity—and far, far better than the geomantic figure to which I cited. Goodness me. Thank you for flagging!
Given how compelling of a match this is, down to the coloration, might this diagram and perhaps others have implications for the sequencing of how the VMS was pigmented? As you have noted, Rene, at least some of the VMS pigment was applied just before it was rebound, presumably after some of the bifolia were originally created. But in this case, the wind diagram's particular coloration seems to match so well to f69r, is it possible that those colored bands date all the way back to the creation of f69r? If memory serves, Jorge Stolfi has suggested that there were two different instances of people who applied pigment to the VMS.
