The event was a gahtering of all strenght of the Rohirrim. Many an eored was put together for just that ride, I would think. In addition many a men was killed in the westfold. So we can assume that in many eored's new soldiers were added to fillup the ranks agian. In such a situation a new face in an eored would be normal. And if she take the right eored with men that were not normaly stationed in or around Edoras it is possible that she would no have been recoginsed by the men.
In addition she had come to an aggrement with Elfhem the comander of the eored. The rohirrim were an very well organised millitary folk. Non of the normal soldiers would dare to say: "Commander Elfhelm, this guy you have brought as a new commrad looks pretty much like our princess, what are you doing here? And here funny baggage should also not be here." I don't think Elfhelm would smile at that.
Respectfully
