That is just another similarity between Mutsuki and Kaneki.

Recall the theater perfomance that Kaneki was "forced" into as the leading role since nobody else wanted the job? Well, this is the same thing. That clown and Hide are wearing the same "witch assistant" suit for extra symbolism and if one have to add to it, then Uta´s new maks does make him look like a witch now, doesn´t he? And he did say that the show had begun, making this a theater performance.

So this is essentially a renactment of both Kaneki´s childhood event of Kaneki´s human childhood and the "gourmet" event during his doubted half-ghoul state. Both represented by Mutsuki as he has been taken a lead role on the auction stage, the spotlight is on him and there´s a witch and her assistants along on the stage with him.

This is such a brilliant writing that I´m smilling about it...

So in a symbolic sense, the important part in this topic is not that the Clown and Hide are the same, but that the role they´re playing in this performance. This is just another similarity.
