With apologies, I do not understand the reason for your confusion. The basic line pattern is the same and so is cloud-based interpretation. It's the same nebuly line with two different uses: heraldry and artistry. Heraldry depends on meaning and interpretation. Best to keep it simple. Artistry, for some artists, depends on flamboyance, so that's what they did. And, of course, heraldry has no place in cloud band illustrations. Yet they share the same aesthetic symbolism.
Here's a fairly plain version of a nebuly line, with a bit of bifurcation, and it appears to be religious also 1316. It's probably connected to the previous St. Graal text.

What can I say? This is how they did things. It depends on the artist's individual technique to make use of the nebuly symbolism.
In regard to the use of the word 'nebuly', that is rather problematic. Heraldic rolls, as you may know, generally consist of an image, plus some identifying surname / full name / title. They do not include blazons. The word would have to occur in a blazon of French or English (Portuguese? or Spanish?) origins. Early collections of written blazons, if and when they exist, are a totally different kettle of fish.
