Norman, do you have a way to list the frequency of each opening from the PGN?
I have PGN-extract, which I am am not fluent in, but it's probably quicker for you to do using Chessbase, or something which I don't have.
Well if I may be so free to answer. You can use SCID thats a free chess database program, which has a lot of tools and options such as Player report:
Because you have not used an openingbook we can perhaps see something of the playing style by using this option
When you comparise them we can observe the liking of opposite castling, kingside pawnstorm etc. etc.
It looks as if Houdini wants to hold his queen the most and that Komodo wants to castle same side and that Stockfish likes pawnstorm at kingside the most
