Those of you saying "well it worked for me" are missing the point. YOU

That's not what Bruce is saying. Look back at his comment. I agree with
him too: on Saturday we had a trail flighter and some starting student
pilots out and were using an ASK-21, a G.103 Acro II with out Puchacz
visible in the hangar. The visitors and students really didn't
distinguish between the three two-seaters, even one Polish guy who knows
his power planes well enough to know what a Wilga is.

I think Bruce is right: if a two-seater has a composite airframe, is
painted white, and is well-maintained even a Puchacz and an ASK-21 are
similar enough that that anybody who isn't 'one of us' won't make
distinctions between them.
