So context:

In After the Fall, Fox does not see anything particularly different about Ozpin's aura. Team CFVY thinks he feels old and young at the same time but it's based on his appearance, behavior and his aura (Fox's initial impression is actually that Ozpin feels like someone who will enjoy a good joke). It's not really mentioned in the books whether Fox sees this as unusual, but they seem to intentionally leave Fox's impression out of a lot of that (probably because it's something CRWBY want saved for the show itself). He does have a strong aura, but that's about it. Fox also never tried to create a connection with Ozpin or Glynda but both of them were well aware of his telepathy and how his team uses it.

This makes me assume after the merge happens, the auras either merge into one or King Ozma's aura overtakes all the other auras as it goes, because he doesn't feel like a bunch of auras on top of each other. There's just the one.

Fox can recognize the difference in other people's auras even when one person's aura overtakes someone else's, but that only works when he has felt the auras before (hence why he never would have known that Penny's aura is borrowed from her dad because he'd never met Pietro). In Before the Dawn, he notices it immediately because he meets two people with the same aura at the same time and then more people with that same aura, but he doesn't understand why this is. Then he meets Gillian and feels her HUGE aura which is the exact aura he's been feeling covering the auras of all the other people (covering to the point they feel like Gillian and that's it, he can't sense their unique auras) and knows immediately what has been happening.

This to me, means that when meeting Ozpin, unless his powers are more powerful in the game than in canon before his death, Fox will probably just notice Ozpin as Ozpin. Strong Young Yet Old Aura, but nothing else. He'll notice the differences/similarities more with Oscar because Oscar will have that mixed aura with Ozpin's begining to submerge his own.

That is unless you are playing Ozpin as having a similar merging going on as Oscar does. Then Fox is going to be like WTF as he feels the two of them sharing auras. He'd probably notice immediately that Ozpin's aura doesn't feel the same anymore if that was the case.
