I see nothing particularly unusual in these letters.

Are they just "d" to you?

Compare "d" in the top row. It's different. The bottom is round and closed and the top is wider. Here it looks like "e" with some minim.

Yes, it is a different version of d-like character. It's not very unusual, though, I think there are hundreds of them in the MS.

PS. I can't tell if it's just "d", I have no idea what the underlying character set of the Voynich manuscript looks like, but it's almost certainly not the same as EVA. This would be an extremely lucky outcome. More likely some of different EVA characters are the same underlying symbol and some different underlying symbols map to the same EVA character point, but I have no idea which ones are these.
