A good paleographer can recognize a handwritten piece of text and tell you from which period, which country and surprisingly often also the name of the author.
A good painting expert can do exactly the same and can tell you immediately if the painting is probably a real or a fake Rembrandt.
My point is, if you study the VMS as hard as we do. You will recognize specific features.
Once you see that somewhere else, in a split second you will recognize that it is from the same period, same vellum, etc.
Like JPK writes, these sensible things have to be written down, specified enough to be detected and recognized.
