Ok, I think I found the confusion in my data. What I attempted to do was merge the data from your site regarding quires/sheets/Currier A & B with her scribal hands. The traditional quire method from you and Currier has 20 quires. Davis reduces it down to 18. So, I copied her scribe assignments onto the quire data in your quire sequential order but not her quire order. And that's where a mis-labeling happened. Two sheets are missing from that section which would account for the missing quire numbers q16 and q18 in the traditional numbering. She's assigning those missing sheets to Q16.
So technically, using the 20 quire method, and her scribal hands, the chart is correct. She has scribe 3 creating f94 and f95. Using her quire numbering system, it's mis-labled and should be q15 and q16. And to make things even more confusing, she listed those quires as Botanical and not Pharma.
I really have not worked with quires and scribes past the Herbal section so, I didn't notice this till now and thankfully doesn't affect any of my other work. So, going forward, I'm going to stick with her quire numbering just so I have consistency but I'll make a note of it for future reference.
Thanks, you had me worried I really screwed something up.
