Both symbols consist of a line and a curve. The primary difference, as seen in the font examples, is that the curve is connected to the either the top or the bottom of the minim. A brief look at VMs shows that this appears to be valid.
If the two VMs letters were the same, then the connection would be all that mattered. Top or bottom would make no difference, implying that anywhere in the middle would do just as well. All that matters in that case is the connection, not the location of that connection. As it seems that the VMs has no examples of such intermediate connections, the symbols would appear to be two separate glyphs.
