Good find VViews.
What JKP says about alchemical imagery is exactly what I thought too: it is so easy to recognize. Which is one of the many reasons why I personally believe the VM does not contain it.
The last image you posted seems relevant in understanding the pose though. It symbolizes marriage, a union, and goes back to actual wedding imagery since Roman times.
