Since I have to read W.s blog with the help of a translation tool, I'll read it again tomorrow, when I am less sleepy.
Just two remarks:
1) I am not sure everyone is aware of the fact, that the quire numbers are somewhere late 15th c. and the foliation is a lot later, maybe (I think so) as late as the 17th c.
2) If you write octavus or octauus is a question off the script you are using, it is nothing to do with region or dialect, common for the 15th c. is the writing with u, the v goes nearly out of use, the humanists used it more again, but you can have a mixed use as well as you can see in the ms. you are quoting
As I have said before, I am very doubtful re different scribes, the numerals used on the quires could well be from the original scribe, the foliation is sure from a different scribe and there are the marginalia and 116v of course
