Barbara Cason, Dennis P's wife, who played the role in the movie, had a version of the Mrs Johnson "hairstyle" (if that's what it should be called) in House of DS (not NoDS), but I don't know whether they drove out the actual wig that Clarice wore in the role... so far as I know, it was her personal property.
In NoDS, confusingly, Clarice Blackburn did appear, but she played Mrs Castle, and there was a wonderful scene with her (unless I'm hallucinating again) in the missing footage Darren showed at the Festival last year. You'll all be relieved to learn that she did NOT wear the Mrs J wig in that part--it really would not have looked right on a domestic of 1810.
Hey, Miss Winthrop, I'm a huge fan of Strange Paradise! How far along on the show are you? They've been running it in Canada on the "Drive-in Classics" channel (unfortunately not available in the US), and they're set to start running it again on July 4, I believe.
