I’ll bet if youy gave the structure to five different “experts”, they’d be so different, you’d discount this whole area of “expertdom”

Actually they use the same techniques to try to ID dead bodies.

The faces they come up with based just upon a skull have quite often lead to identification because when you look at the face - it looks enough like the missing person to make the ID - and that is later CONFIRMED through DNA testing of surviving relatives and comparison to the remains.

They wouldn’t bother doing it if it didn’t lead to good results.

Actually, no.

These reconstructions are remarkably accurate. It is based upon well known relationships between the underlying skeleton and the well known thickness of the tissue that sits on top of this foundation.
