continuing from the preceding post
If you want to count on a person things that reveal the religious affiliation despite not being intended for that purpose then clothes that do not cover the body could also fall in that category because one could know the religion of the person wearing those clothes from even just the color or tone of the skin.
And what if a person gets recognize as a Muslim because of, for example, the change in his look and weight during the fasting of the Ramadan month? Would the cloth that do not cover that or are not baggy enough to create the illusion of him being bigger in size be also forbidden because they reveal his religious affiliation? And since one doesn't have to limit the thinking to existing religions, we can ask this question about a religion with fasting periods long enough to make such noticeable change more probable.
Moreover, even if we assume that the use of the word "ostensiblement" HERE has nothing to do with intention and is merely about the clarity of the "manifestation" of religious affiliation with the worn attire, it still seems to better fit being about clarity stemming from the directness in the religious connection expressing the religious affiliation rather than the commonality of understanding the behaviour as resulting from that religious affiliation. At least one reason for that is the les élèves (the pupils/students) being made the subject in les élèves manifestent ostensiblement..(the pupils overtly/ostentatiously manifest..). Having the people inferring the religious affiliation to which a student belongs is not something done by the student.
