Ah, surely "del" = part. "Deel" means "part" both in Nederlands and Wäästfaalisch.
And I agree with JKP that the circle over the u is simply a diacritic. For example, in Middle High German dictionaries it is very frequent.
Now, we do not necessarily have to join "mus" and "del" together (for the VMS folio), they can be two different words. Because "del" as "part" nicely fits the picture, which shows several "parts" (of something).
