that would be an interesting experiment, but hard to recreate to be actually complying to the situation described in Umineko.

-We need to assume that the original persona is androgynous to the point where you wouldn't understand his/her sex if you were to see her on his/her natural outlook.
This is a quality that isn't very easy to find in a human.

-In order to minimize the noise in the experiment, both the person in disguise and the subjects should be asian.

-The subjects and the person in disguise should not be familiar with each other, or at the very least they shouldn't have met in the last 6 years.

-The person in disguise must be around 19 years old.

-The level of make up used is a variable we are not sure of. As long as we don't know what kind of "tools" shkanon used this experiment would be impossible unless you try all the different possible combinations. Wigs for example would definitely make a difference.

also

-The subjects shouldn't be aware of the experiment's objective. You can't just show them a person then soon afterward the same person dressed as the opposite sex and then ask them if they think that was the same person. Battler wasn't actively trying to notice resemblances, so neither should be the subjects.

-the presences of other people treating the two disguises a different persons would greatly affect the result. There's been psychological experiments before that showed how people tend to be affected by the judgment of their peers, even when they are blatantly wrong.
