PSNR would be terrible for measuring this. Not sure about SSIM. Looking at divergence between PSNR and SSIM, or PSNR and VMAF, perhaps could be helpful?

At least it seems to cause changes in frametype decision. I didn't verify them to be exactly sure, but it looked like my frame-by-frame comparison had often P-frames compared against B and vice versa.
