Raven's Mask Screams Grimm, you could tell from along way off, even Adam's mask is not that differnt from normal WF masks, you may notice some details if you are a witness, like it "looked like it had some red on it" but Raven's mask sets her way apart from any WF member we have seen, unless she is the New leader, and wants to stand apart, but there are so many holes in that it's not funny, So I belive she is not of the WF, because the Mask is too different, back to Yats, I might believe the Lt's is a Rare Faunus type (not a mamal) and it would be too easy to track down if a shot of him in a normal mask got out, so better to hide it, or he just has a hairry face... Let me add something to your idea.

Sun: Grimm masks? That's kind of dark.

Blake: So was the guy who started it.

We know that the person with the idea of wearing Grimm masks in the White Fang was male and he's dead. And that's assuming that Raven was the one who started it because your idea of being a tradition means that it has always been a thing and it wasn't Raven's idea so the person that had to be seen by a WF member could have been anyone.

But if we assume that the guy is dead. It also could mean that Raven was the one who killed him for stealing her idea. Not to mention that she's been hiding her face for more than a decade while the WF have been wearing the mask for less than 5 years.
