Back when I was studying all this, I did notice BoL decks which varied in the level of detail pointed out by Don. For example, the bent leg of the sphinxes on the chariot card - some have both legs bent the same way, other depictions do not. Yet, at this seemingly gross level of detail, both presumably would be considered "reasonably similar". If that is indeed the case, then my take is the BoL card symbology is not "giving them a voice" as much as the accompanying instruction and their respective or relative depictions (on a "gross" level).
