  "With some certainty" is not yet justified.
  
  I wrote You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ages ago. The similarity is good, and I dare say that this is objective. Still I am not sure that it is not coincidental.
  
  There was a whole thread here (or in Stephen Bax's blog) showing that the same symbol was used as a paragraph marker in Spanish manuscripts. I would not know how to search for that but perhaps someone else remembers.

  It is a part of every investigation to deal with circumstantial evidence to connect the dots. 
  The very first post in this thread is an example of following a lead.

  Apparently, your examples are not concerned with suprascript.

I think it takes more than just visual similarity to conclusively prove that the scribe had some particular symbol in mind when writing a certain shape.

  
  If it takes more than just visual similarity, what more does it take? The determination of 'visual similarity' - based on appearance - is somewhat subjective. In contrast, the placement of 'objects' is structural and therefore objective.
  
  Here two of the three examples consist of a matching pair of subjective interpretations and an objective determination in a given system.
