Does it actually look different or is it just a different cause for similar movement patterns?

Just being batted around by turbulence looks different if you know what you're looking for (although what to look for might be only obvious when looking at accelerometer data). Again, Dutch Roll is a very specific phenomenon as a result of coupling between the roll and yaw dynamic modes. The risk of Dutch Roll is that these oscillations can grow even without further stimulus rather than just dampen out.
