Regardless of the Miltonia vs. Miltoniopsis (Colombian Miltonia) issue and how those plants are typically identified, this is Vulstekeara (Oncidiopsis) Cambria or a very similar hybrid.
Vulstekeara identified a hybrid of Cochlioda x Miltonia x Odontoglossum as they were defined at the time. Half the ancestry is officially unknown but those plants were identified as Odontoglossum in registration.
The Miltonia is the species now known as Miltoniopsis vexillaria. So if there is any true Miltonia in Vulstekeara Cambria it is buried in the unknown part identified as Odontoglossum, and very unlikely to have included any true Miltonia at that time even as an unknown.
And again, this is Vulstekeara Cambria or something indistinguishable from it. It is considered Oncidiopsis Cambria now because Cochlioda and Odontoglossum are now Oncidium, so it is Miltoniopsis x Ondidium. You can call it Miltonia if you want, but really not.
