Maybe, but still not buying it. If Hiro wrote Neinhart's initial reaction as, "Why does this redhead look familiar?" and then the connection after her evil eyes, then maybe. But Neinhart and Irene are COMRADES, so he should've made some sort of connection immediately.

A Soldier I worked with insisted that we previously worked together because I looked familiar even though we ran through the checklist (never stationed together, no common units). MONTHS later, I realized he (wasn't crazy) worked with a mutual friend of my sister and I, had an overlapping deployment timeframe with my sister, and worked in the same compound as my sister's unit. My sister would regularly visit our friend, and that's where he recognized her/me from. A guy who recognized me/her from 2 years prior to my arrival in the unit just by seeing her in passing. That's how twin stuff work haha.
