** Actually downplayed in the movie, where the Jackal tells the forger he's not good at makeup. His disguises mainly consist of dyed hair and glasses (for Lundquist) and dyed hair and a strapped-up leg (for the one-legged soldier), with appropriate clothing for each.

It fits neatly into a single 3 feet metal pipe, which allows him to both disguise it as a part of his Alfa Romeo as well as a crutch for the one-legged veteran disguise he uses at the end.
