Are panels 1 and 4 and the maps not Masonic?

Day has no Masonic explanations for panels 1 and 4 and the maps on the sides. Panel 1 is suggested either the Genesis scene in which Adams gives names to the animal, but also suggested to be Judgement Day. Panel 4 has more to do with Jewish tribes and the maps with the Jewish wanderings before (left) and after the Exodus. Lost Masonic symbology?

A thought that occurred to me is that these paintings are from other painters. Perhaps they were even part of an original painting to which the Masonic panels have been added. Because the maps already had a fixed length, the painter had to fit the new panels within that length, but when painting from top to bottom, he had to progressively cut off length in order to make things fit.

Would these panels and maps indeed not be part of the complete scroll?
