Black hole merger - what would happen if

[WACG]

Would there be any observable difference between these two cases: A) two "ordinary" black holes merge. B) one of the two merging black holes is derived from anti-matter? Thanks for any thoughts.

There should be no difference.
1. Black holes do not have 'solid surface'
2. When any matter approaches singularity inside the horizon, it becomes a subject of so heavy tidal forces/hawking emission from apparent horizons/heating that the difference between matter and antimatter dissapears (like it was at some point of history soon after the Big bang)

According to the "no hair" theorem, the only externally observable properties of a standard classical black hole are mass (rest energy), electric charge and angular momentum, so there is no observable distinction between one made of matter and one made of antimatter.
