They don't mention anything specific that would tell us without any doubt that it was Higurashi, but even if their past battle was in that world that still doesn't prove that Higurashi is a real world, seeing as how in Umineko their battlefields are fictional gameboards. By the way the only time when Higurashi was specifically mentioned in Umineko it was stated that it was a mystery novel.
As for the reason to not believe they are the same characters, well it's simple, they are too different.
In the first place there is absolutely no Lambdadelta in Higurashi. Sure her name means 34, but the same is true for Sayo. Her personality and character are also completely different, if anything she resembles Satoko a lot more than Takano.
The candy theme that distinguish both her outfit and her magical attacks are absolutely absent in Higurashi. In addition her alleged Higurashi counterpart never was stated to be a witch nor she wanted to be one.
For what concerns Bernkastel the similaraties are more striking and the name is straightforward, however why did she mysteriously lose the "Frederica" part? And in addition she gained a cat tail that was never mentioned before. And in EP8 you can't even count the times when they said she is a cat. Why would EP8 stress so much that Bernkastel is a cat?
In conclusion while similaraties exist, blatant differences also exist. If they were the same characters, why those differences exist? If however they are recurring characters like in the case of Okonogi, both similaraties and differences can be explained.
