The finds in the Bar Kochba caves indicate hellenized dress and custom. I'm afraid that if you had a first century "Greek" (which probably meant hellenized Sryians )and Jew standing next to each other it would be nearly impossible to tell them apart.
As evidenced by Josephus' assimilation into Flavian politics, it probably wasn't too much of a change.
