Since the subrace behind the face isn't really something that someone can know IC on first glance, I'd say it doesn't matter. If you make a Keeper that looks like a Seeker, ICly, people should assume that they're such. That said, some might use consider the subrace information IC for a variety of reasons and that'd cause OOC confusion. Also, if the devs add subrace-specific quests or items in the future, you may have to do some serious tapdancing in your RP to explain that.
Personally, I would feel the probability of OOC confusion is too great and not do it, but that's just me. What stands out to me is that not all RPers are willing or able to review the wiki in game or in the middle of RP, and so that information is likely to go unread in just the sort of situation where it'd be important.
