I don't know if you've already found this information, but my guess is that the image is actually from the British Library manuscript collection and that it is part of the Royal Collection. If so, it should have a numeral before the D. IX. The website seems to indicate that the manuscripts number from 1. A. I - 20. E. X, Appendix 1 - 89. They are catalogued in: G. F. Warner & J. P. Gilson, Catalogue of Western Manuscripts in the Old Royal and King's Collections (London, 1921), 4 vols., with index in vol. 3 and plates in vol. 4.
I checked online and this image doesn't appear as part of the digitized collections. Only two "D. IX" turned up and they didn't have this image. I hope this helps.

There is a black and white illustration on page 142<http://tinyurl.com/mcpage142>* of Medieval Costume in England and France by Mary G. Houston. *It is supposed to have come from a manuscript in the British Museum. The number is D. IX. Does anyone know if this is enough information to identify the manuscript? My searches are not getting anywhere.
