Carol responds:
That's a fair point, but I don't think they had time to notice
anything unusual. They were all in awe of snape, he was taking charge,
and he ordered them off the tower before they had time to think about
anything--not to mention that Amycus, Alecto, and Fenrir Greyback are
none of them very bright. The one DE who seems to have a brain
(Brutal-Face, who I'm sure is Yaxley), was hit in the back by a
Petrificus Totalus. If he has anything to say about the AK being
unusual, he can tell it to the Aurors and Scrimgeour. Hope he does.

And as far as the differences between Snape's supposed AK and all the
others. see my previous post, which cites the relevant canon.

Carol, who thinks that one reason Snape shouted "It's over!" was to
get the DEs off the tower before they started realizing that AKs don't
normally send people over the ramparts
