Benjamin Franklin (post 6): Could forensic graphology tell if his Silence Dogood pseudonym was an alternate personality?

I presume that Franklin’s Silence Dogood manuscripts were handwritten (1). Do the originals still exist? If so, could a forensic graphologist tell whether the handwriting were simply faked by Franklin or were written by his alternate personality? I’m not sure, but it might be possible (2).
