I can't find that precise discussion in the published volume. The extremely fragmentary nature of the surviving glazing the Lady Chapel doesn't help, but there doesn't seem (surprisingly) to have been an Annunciation in the main East window. The emphasis seems to have been on type/antitype figures rather than narrative.
