This is Only Any Fun if the different Parts actually start off in _different places_, and have to be Reabsorbed somehow... Otherwise, a test for a single Part would be as useful (and hence, boring) as a test for all of them. Sounds potentially amusing, I admit, but may be pushing the Canon Envelope.

I think the RE certainly _does_ remember previous 'lives', but I hesitate to ascribe this to the Great Self, which is to do with altogether loftier matters. (Crude analysis: most people have no/an unawakened Seventh Part, but nevertheless manage to remember things...)
The memory may 'restored' to the body of the new Mask during the Egi Ritual, or at some other such point; and/or having such 'memories', even in flashes, may be a 'sign' that one has an 'Egi vocation', or what the RMM crowd might call a Mandate of the Moon...
Cheers,
Alex.
