I'm not sure what to discuss here? Even if it is a twelve, I doubt anything can be extrapolated from this.
If it's a 12, it means that someone wrote european style numbers on the manuscript before the colours were added. That may have implications for the potential original culture of the VMS artist and/or its provenance.
