There definitely seems to be a connection of some sort. Probably this manuscript and the VMS were created around the same time and place.
Incidentally, the Warburg Institute Iconographic Database (which I just found out about today and where I found this manuscript) is a total gold mine, if you don't know about it:

They probably were. Together with the style and basic content, both the Pal. Lat. manuscript and the marginalia in the VMS are in Gothic Cursive script which was popular in England, the Lombardic areas, Allemannic and Tirolian areas, and a bit of western Austria and eastern France in the late 14th and 15th centuries.
