It turns out that when one reverse image searches a GAN-generated face pic, some of the results are other GAN-generated face pics. We used Yandex, as it was more effective than Google and is easier to automate. (This doesn't work with TinEye, which only finds exact matches.) 
We generated 500 face pics using thispersondoesnotexist(dot)com, reverse searched them using Yandex, and filtered the results to Twitter profile pics, yielding 35 accounts (plus a few suspended ones). As usual, the major facial features are in the same place on each image.
