Yes, to our eyes they look like a signature or maybe a date/place reference that you add when you have finished something. But I vaguely recall Lisa being asked about this and she said it was anachronistic. I can't find this so I might be misremembering, or it might have been in a lecture q&a.
I'd love to hear from Lisa or another palaeography about the extent to which it is unusual to see such central or right margin alignment in a text of such period and if it was done elsewhere what the reasons were, if known.
