Yes, I suspect prosopagnosia, although I wouldn't allow evil psychiatry examine my brain. Body shape, height, skin color, hairstyle and hair color have always played an important role in recognizing people outside my own family.
I knew a girl as "the fat redhead" during high school, and the situation became awkward when another fat redhead of the same height joined the class. I had to use labels on people like "110 lbs negress", "tall attractive blonde with curly hair", "anorexic dyke", "dude with similar body as mine", "fat pearshaped dude" and other ones that would melt a PC brain in seconds. Swedish winters were a pain, when everyone hide their hair in caps, and more or less masquarade their body shape in large jackets.
I'm so much better of here in Tennessee.
