You've raised a thousand questions. The comparison is based on structure, not appearance. The cosmic structure consists of three parts. There are no planets or planetary spheres.
The first part is a pictorial representation of three elements (no fire) in an inverted T-O, geocentric Earth, not a set of concentric rings. The second part is the field of generic stars. The third part is a wolkenband / cloud band and cosmic boundary - a nebuly line. The fact that BNF Fr. 565 and VMs f68v3 both show 43 undulations in the cosmic band indicates a common ideological connection.
The two BNF images and Harley 334 were all produced in Paris at different times before 1450. This very simplified version of the cosmic structure appears to be limited to Paris during the C-14 era, and particularly focused on BNF Fr. 565 produced for the Duke of Berry c. 1410.
The fourth part is the wheel with eight curved spokes - outside the cosmic boundary. Flip over the diagram and the spokes curve the other way. It's the same wheel, or maybe it's good versus evil. It's simply a matter that history provides no other equivalent, but from the Genoese entry into the Black Sea until the fall of Trebizond, history does provide some opportunity for information to travel.
As to the combination, once recognized, it cannot be taken seriously. The VMs artist is operating at an unexpected level of 'sophistication'. There is trickery and obfuscation, but the basic structure of the *Parisian cosmos* is the same, the wheel is on its other side. The VMs artist consistently represented the visual alternative - writing inside the lines instead of outside.
Speaking of heraldry, and likewise unexpected, there is the duality imposed by the structure of VMs White Aries, where the artist created the Genoese Gambit.
