  Bi3mw, I came here to mention that after seeing the Zodiac Man you posted! There are several other instances within the manuscript.

  Not a great one, but it's French.

  It's quite interesting though. On the one hand, it's clearly late and stylistically polished. Some strange things happened to it as well, like the vertical compression.
  But on the other hand, I'd dare to say that it still shows signs of the older images it derives from, which I would put in the same family as the VM bull.
  

  • facing left
    
  • far front leg raised
    
  • head-neck structure is more like that of a horse (but they thickened the neck already)
    
  • pizzle problems
    
  • tail behind the legs and "forked" at the end
    
  • green terrain with hills
    

  
  
  
  So even though this is late, and the style is clearly late, I would still link it stronger to the VM bulls than many earlier ones.

  Speaking of Lauber, now there's a dude with horns.

  This is one of the better ones I've seen so far. A marginal drawing

  Koen, in case you haven't seen it, I had a look at multiple zodiacs a few years ago and identified similarities (overall and for each sign). From You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., at the bottom, you can download the full list.

  I would like to see a good geographical plotting (like the merlons map) for each of the VMs zodiac sign comparisons, and then the ability to overlay them all together.

  R. Sale: I don't think we're there yet. Much depends on the parameters and the rigor of the investigations. Things like this have been done in the past though, for example by Marco and Darren on Stephen Bax site.
