The goal of \ac{UAD} is to detect anomalous signals under the condition that only non-anomalous ({\it normal}) data is available beforehand. In UAD under Domain-Shift Conditions (UAD-S), data is further exposed to contextual changes that are usually unknown beforehand. Motivated by the difficulties encountered in the \acs{UAD-S} task presented at the 2021 edition of the \ac{DCASE} challenge\footnote{DCASE website: \url{http://dcase.community}}, we visually inspect \acp{UMAP} for log-STFT, log-mel and pretrained \ac{L3} representations of the \ac{DCASE} \acs{UAD-S} dataset. In our exploratory investigation, we look for two qualities, {\it \ac{SEP}} and {\it \ac{DSUP}}, and formulate several hypotheses that could facilitate diagnosis and developement of further representation and detection approaches. Particularly, we hypothesize that input length and pretraining may regulate a relevant tradeoff between \ac{SEP} and \ac{DSUP}. Our code as well as the resulting \acp{UMAP} and plots are publicly available\footnote{Online Resources:\\ Code: \url{https://github.com/andres-fr/dcase2021_umaps}\\Webpage: \url{https://ai4s.surrey.ac.uk/2021/dcase_uads}}.
