What is the meaning of Verte! at the end of Sisi’s autopsy report?

Accepted answer
Comparing both autopsies archived officially at (AT-OeStA/HHStA UR FUK 2790, 2791 Title: Zwei nach dem Ableben der Kaiserin und Königin Elisabeth aufgenommene legalisierte Protokolle über die stattgehabte Leichenschau und Autopsie (Obduktion) (1898.09.12)) reveals that they are consisting of more pages than are visible in the picture above. Both went through multiple hands and this is also visible by the numerous seals and impressions and additions with pencils and so on.
The handwriting of them is vastly different when comparing the "body text". Yet both documents have this "verte" at the end of the page. (Like another example.)
In my eyes the hand is also different from the body text and might be from someone different, a civil servant or who knows.
Actually it is not French "green" but Latin, verte: Imp. Sg. meaning just "turn around!" (that is: turn [over] this page). This was actually a standard phrase for these occasions.
