it discredits your conclusions based on what he said. You're assuming that the color of the chakra has a link to the element it carries, when in fact based on AO's statement the color of chakra differs from person to person basis independent of what nature they may have an affinity to. Afterall since he singled out Shisui's color specifically, when we know danzo contains at least 8 different chakra signatures (his own, Shisui, 5-10 different uchiha, and hashirama). This is further compounded by tobirama's comments on Karin being able to sense uzumaki in her chakra signature.Yeah Sasuke did verify the chakra nature through handsigns, but that doesn't discredit what he said, and what was specifically written by Kishimoto in regards to the Sharingan's capability. If it couldn't distinguish the nature of chakra there would be no point in making the term plural.
logically the byakugan should be able to, as should kakashi, based on my conclusions which when compounded with sasuke's very general statements now hold more ground than yours. From a storytelling perspective it would have it would have ruined kakuzu's big reveal and take away from shikamaru's analysis, after all kakashi didn't even see kakazu put the heart in the floor.
You are right in that sense it's a feat shared by both. However (and this is more educated speculation) given what he know about kakazu and tenketsu, byakugan still can see all 5 hearts.I just don't like all this Byakugan can see through the mask speculation without solid proof is all. I like the Hyugas, but giving them feats, and shit that they haven't showcased isn't cool lol.
Kakazu has tenketsu:

Byakugan can see said tenketsu and its relation with the surrounding body parts:

Chakra natures ,signatures and colors aside i'm sure you can put 2 and 2 together.
