This PDF is the same layout as the school primer posted above, to make for easier comparison:

and it does appear that the Russian cursive forms for т, п, г are closer than those currently set in the locl table for Bulgarian. Per Dave in comment #11 above, looking at Serbian cursive hands, they look similar to the above primer:

Off-topic: I'm not particularly a fan of the 'locl' tables since they introduce this sort of variance and debugging, but if there's a case for using them, then there might be some scope for some further tweaks; eg. doing Г→D to match the current г→g cursive. Perhaps Ж and Т→m. Those who are native Bulgarian readers, what's your thoughts towards б looking more like a 6 or a δ too?
