  The lack of punctuation suggests some aspect of the text may function as a 'separator' between one thought and the next. 
  
  Since labels don't need punctuation,
  if there are any properties of body text that are absent from label text,
  they'd make compelling candidates for playing the role of punctuation.
  
  What has been noticed about the differences between body text and label text?

  Labels are not representative of the paragraph text. Words starting ot and ok are more frequent in labels than in the paragraph text, and words starting qo or ch less frequent. Here are some lists of the top paragraph words and the top label words.
  
  Also labels have more variability. 20% of the paragraph text is made up of just 18 words. For labels the equivalent number is 38 words.

  I believe it is more "q" than "qo" missing, in that there are many labels that start "o" that can then be found in text "qo". Obviously outside the many that are unique. 
  okeody > qokeody etc, though correct me if wrong. 
  
  There's probably also something to be said about labels mostly existing in "B" language rather than "A", so some differences may be down to that rather than label/non-label.

  These labels also include the single characters in 'sequences', and are not near some drawing element. One may wonder if these should be included as labels.
