I was looking at the Strait of Hormuz and thinking I haven't seen that in the vms, but it should be there. So I took another look.
The Persian Gulf in the vms is cut off to look like a self contained body of water. It does resemble the portion it would be meant to represent, which is the northwestern part, above Qatar, and ending just before the Strait of Hormuz.
But, I just realized the pointy elbow could inform on the rest. If the tube was a virtual river or waterway meant to connect the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, all you need to do is mentally increase the size of the nymph to the point where the upper arm is the relative thickness of the Strait of Hormuz in relation to the Persian Gulf, and move the nymph over to be in line to the right of the green water shown, ie situate the tube on the northern shoreline, with the upper arm indicating the location of the Strait if Hormuz.
The upper elbow is the Strait of Hormuz north shore, the lower arm is the southern shore of the Gulf of Oman, which denotes the mountains on the shore to and including the elbow to the hand, the latter of which would be analagous to the Musandam peninsula, across from the northern point of the Strait of Hormuz, basically as drawn.
Notice the lower arm is twice as long as the upper arm, the analogy explains this, as it is a factor of the relative sizes of the shorelines involved, as opposed to some anatomical anomaly.
The shoulder and upper part of the lower arm mark the limit of the Gulf of Oman and the start of the Arabian Sea. The land to the north would switch from Iran to Pakistan at this point also.
You can see that another tube starts at the armpit, and that this would extend from this point eastward toward India, following the upper shoreline. The first thing on the verso is the Indus river, then the Gulfs of Kutch and Khambat, which follow contiguously from what I am outlining as being shown here. The sticks basically represent the borders of Oman to the south, which is why this part of the diagram would need to be located further to the right than drawn.
It is saying that at about halfway, this body of water is in line with the shoreline on the other side of a triangular Strait. The shoreline on the far side of the triangular Strait is longer.
I am not sure about the blob on the nymphs right foot, but it could show the location of Qatar, before mentally moving to the right. I am also not sure about the nymph's nipples but it would seem there are analogous formations under the sea in the Gulf of Oman, I am going to call this coincidence, although it is interesting that if you straighten the view to match a horizontal shoreline, the nipples are in the correct orientation to these underwater formations.
From these hints with regard to the nymph's anatomy, you could fill in a lot of what was not drawn in the green part of the drawing, to match reality.
