In the finite context of Evidence Theory, Shafer defined a consonant plausibility function as the one whose focal elements are nested. Focal elements play the same role as the images of random sets in Dempster's theory, while plausibility measures are analogous to Dempster's upper probabilities. This leads the authors to seek a connection between the nesting of images of random sets and the supremum-preserving property of its upper probability, but for arbitrary referential spaces. In this paper, the authors complete the results obtained in their previous paper [``Relationships between possibility measures and nested random sets, Int. J. Uncertain. Fuzziness Knowl.-Based Syst. 10, No. 1, 1--15 (2002; Zbl 1084.68129)].
