These are pretty much agreed upon, the issues are more on category.

The contras actually give the early date. Are they misled AV defenders?

León, Archivo Catedralicio Ms. 15 (first copied circa. 7th century and palimpsested 10th century C.E.) is likewise damaged, and similarly may have only read "SPS" ("Spiritus" abbreviated) instead of "SPS SCS" ("Spiritus Sanctus" abbreviated) as well as "XPS est veritas" in verse 6 (see previous post over on Syriac thread). Note [ ] bracketed text in the printed references to these verses in this manuscript.

Here’s the next oldest occurrence of the CJ in any Bible MS:

León, Archivo Catedralicio Ms. 15 (first copied circa. 7th century and palimpsested 10th century C.E.) Vetus Latina and Vulgate mixed text. Copied in the seventh century, possibly in Toledo. Palimpsested in the tenth century with Rufinus’ translation of Eusebius’ Historia ecclesiastica in Visigothic minuscule. Spanish half-uncial script.
“Quoniam] tres sunt qui t[estimonium dant in terra] spiritus et [aqua et sanguis, et tres sunt] qui tes[timonium dicunt in cælo, pa]ter [et uerbum et spiritus sanctus et hi tres unum] sunt [in Christo Ιhesu].

The first extant bibles containing the Johannine comma are Latin manuscripts copied in Spain during the seventh century: some fragments in Munich (BSB Clm 6436, the ‘Freising fragments’ = Vetus Latina 64) and a palimpsest in Leon (Archivo catedralicio ms 15 = Vetus Latina 67). These two fragmentary sources are closely related, and represent — at least in the Catholic Epistles — a Vetus Latina text resembling that used in the Spanish liturgy.7

León, Archivo Catedralicio, 15
VL 67

Palimpsestus Legionensis. Remains of a Latin Bible (epcar).
Copied in the seventh century, possibly in Toledo. Palimpsested in the tenth century with Rufinus’ translation of Eusebius’ Historia ecclesiastica in Visigothic minuscule. Spanish half-uncial script.

The original manuscript consisted of around 322 folios, of which 48 remain (original size at least 48x35 cm). Two columns of 71–6 lines (36½x28½ cm). Parchment; black ink.

The New Testament portions remaining are Romans 11:2–16:6; 2 Corinthians 1:1–7:4; 12:18–end; Galatians 1:1–3:29; 1 Thessalonians 2:16–2 Thessalonians 3:2; James 4:4–1 Peter 3:14; 1 John 1:5–3 John 10; Acts 8:27–11:13, 14:21–17:25. The Catholic Epistles and parts of Acts are Old Latin, with different text-types in different portions (Acts 15:6–12 and 26–38 are very early, with similarities to Cyprian); Paul is a good Vulgate text.

Images: (CLA XI 1636 and 1637).

Editions: Fischer 1963a (Acts), Berger 1893:9–10 (1 John). Cited in Vetus Latina, and Stuttgart Vulgate (l; Acts and Paul).

Further literature: Berger 1893:8–10, 384; Thiele 1956:16*–17*, 84*ff.; Fischer 1963a [1986:74–105], 1963b [1985:73–8]; Bogaert 2012:74–5. TM 67802.

● [1 Jn 5:6-8] This is the one who is coming in water and Spirit and blood, Jesus Christ and not so great as in water only but in water and blood and the Spirit is the witness because the Spirit is the truth Since there are three that are witnessing in earth the Spirit, and the water and the blood and the three are one because there are three that are witnessing in heaven the Father and the Word and the Spirit Holy and these three are one in Christ Jesus.
(Translated by M.A. Ferrando)

[H.A.G. Houghton]
A different combination of Old Latin and the Vulgate (of Jerome) is seen in VL 67 (the Leon Palimpsest). This is the oldest surviving Latin biblical pandect, a large format manuscript copied in Toledo in the seventh century but re-used three centuries later. The surviving pages show that, while its text of the Pauline Epistles is Vulgate, the Catholic Epistles and part of Acts have an Old Latin affiliation with similarities to Cyprian and [PAGE 64] Tyconius, as well as the fifth century Portuguese writer Orosius (Contra Varimadum).
(Houghton, The Latin New Testament, 2017, p. 63-64)

==================================

Thus the Old Latin connection looks solid, and the Leon Palimpsest is even in support of the Cyprian usage of the heavenly witnesses!
