Yes, really nice, I've had some time to check out the links you provided. The Egyptian site even has an image of a cruciform carving, believed to be a Ptolemaic era measuring instrument. I think this was the same one Diane was referring to, but I had never seen a parallel this clear.

The pictures you found are convincing since they show that the tool was still know and used, or perhaps reinvented? in medieval times, and they offer a very satisfying parallel for the pose.
