I agree - there's definitely a 6 in the foliator's hand followed by a 2 or another 7, but it is difficult to say for sure. The next time I am with the manuscript, I'll bring a handheld UV light and ask permission to examine that page.
I don't think knowing what numbers are written there will help with the sequence, as it seems clear that the manuscript has been in its current sequence since before the folio numbers were added. The foliator might have just made a mistake and scraped it away.
