To clarify: RfS X.4.a.ii.b says

    (b) Complete Change of Tincture - If the fields of two pieces of
        field-primary armory have no tinctures in common, they are
        considered completely different and do not conflict,
        irrespective of any other similarities between them.  ... The
        addition of a field treatment is also a change of tincture, so
        "Per fess argent and gules" is completely different from "Per
        fess argent masoned gules and sable".

Mailly is another field treatment, so the two designs are immediately
clear due to Complete Change of Tincture.  Even if that were ignored,
there would be a CD for addition of the orle and a CD for changing the
tincture of at least half the field.

That disconcerted me until I reread the original note from Snorri:

You oversnipped a bit, Magnus.
