If you did meet them, and you did recognise the face, how might you react? Sorry to be so persistent, the more I think about this the more it gives me the wobblies.

Well like it or not you would know that they donated so the shock must be mitigated to a large extent.
I think the face would look much like the pre disfigurment face of the recipient, not the donor. Its basically an overcomplicated skin graft. If you take the skin off your bum and put it on your arm, it does not look like your bum. By the time its in place it will look so much like the recipient you would not know who the donor was.
From a movie fiction Point of View. In Face off when they did this, they used implants etc to ensure he looked alike. This all got most confusing when they started beating the pulp out of each other, surely you would damage the structure holding your face together (thats your face as its on the other guy).
