I don't think you'll be able to find out testing with such short time controls.
The shorter the time control, the higher the probability that there will be
different moves. Try doing your experiment with longer TCs such as 30+ minute
games. You'll probably find that the first 20-30 moves are systematically the
same. Of course, make sure that learning is off.
