I'm somewhat alarmed at the fact that I have no idea what that previous post meant. My comprehension may be much more impaired than usual. I'm not being sarcastic. I often blank out and miss the point of things for neurological reasons.
I'll offer this one last idea on the issue... I say the 1897 characters weren't all exact look-alikes of the 1969 characters, because that kind of thing just doesn't happen. If we looked through some family history of ours, we wouldn't see photos of ancestors who looked exactly like ourselves and members of our present-day families.
If the past were filled with exact duplicates, that's one great big supernatural phenomenon that could not fail to grab anyone's attention. Barnabas on his own in the past would have no one to comment on this to, but once Julia was there, it had to come up. I suppose she could have showed her shock at the duplications offscreen, but really, any major bizarre phenomenon like that deserves to be reacted to and dealt with onscreen, and would be.
