OK so I checked it out and he does have his own IMDb page with that episode among his credits so I believe it was him in drag.
As for the body double idea, I dunno.
Maybe they just wanted to film it that way or he couldn't be there for the shoot at that angle or whatever.
Was DS ever filmed in front of a live audience or was it always a laugh track?

Like with many sitcoms, I think it was a little of both. I recognize the exact same laugh on numerous sitcoms.
You raise a good point about IMDb, because now I wonder if the producers didn’t want anyone to know that cousin Anna was played by Conrad’s twin brother. Thus, crediting Bonar as Conrad. I base this on the series “Full House” in which the producers didn’t want anyone to know that Michelle was played by twins. Thus, being billed as “Mary Kate Ashley Olsen” until the final season when they changed it to “Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen.” I guess after the Olsen twins started building their empire, the producers figured the secret was out and they might as well bill them with an “and” instead of trying to play it off like it’s one actress with four names on her birth certificate. -

As vast as it is the internet is limited with certain obscure things such as what you are seeking.
It takes someone to upload the info, video or whatever other content that goes on there to be seen by all.
IMDb, as you probably know, does get input from the public the way they create Wikipedia pages which means it is not always 100% reliable.
OTOH I dunno who makes the cast lists for shows.
If that is also from the gen. public or from the production studio, the network or anyone else involved directly with the show.
If I were you I would go with IMDb for now, saying it is Conrad's twin bro, until I see something else that claims otherwise.
There is a still shot from that episode that does show the two of them together.

I dunno why that info would be a canard or a mistake.

I dunno man.
Either the credits is playing a joke, got mixed up, he didn't want the credit or IMDb has it right or wrong.
I found this in the trivia section..
Dana Plato played Hans Von Drummond.
Anna Van Drummond is played by Conrad Bains' twin brother Bonair.
Was Dana on screen in both roles at the same time?
If so then that could deepen the mystery for the Bains bros.

Maybe I'm reaching, but perhaps Bonar didn't want to perpetuate the stigma of men wearing dresses for a role. Only the black demographic seems to be ridiculed for that, such as Tyler Perry, as opposed to Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie." Thus, my possible misconception that Bonar wanted Conrad to take credit for Anna. But you never know.
Dana was on screen as Hans at the same time. I believe they showed all "four" of them in one shot (Mr. Drummond, Kimberly, Anna, Hans) while of course just facing each other instead of any physical contact. -

Other places besides here.
I am limiting myself and will most likely only talk about movies if I do anything here at all.
I really don't care for the trolling and other drama queen bullshit anymore and the assholes that do that.
I am done with them.

I am an anti vaxxer so maybe.
(Actually I am not but I am still trying to score with Jenny McCarthy and figured if it worked for Jim Carrey it might work for me!)
