In heraldic terminology, a 'vol' of 'Flug' is a pair of conjoined wings. There are also 'open' or separated variations.
Are there any other potential parts of a bird that can be seen in the VMs illustration? Besides the wings?
Why is this not a vol?
As far as matching feather patterns, that's very unlikely. The cloud band investigation showed, in the multitude of examples, that each artist had their own technique of representation. Heraldry is more regulated than regular artistry. And heraldry has no rules on how to arrange the feathers of an eagle's wing, and much less on a vol.
