If they are digging enough to find this out - which would involve getting all the bank details and a large amount of guesswork then you are already well and truly on the radar (and they could problably not legally get to this level of information before investgation).
HMRC will only know the amount of dividends you have received from your tax return, they may correlate to the companys filed accounts, but there is no guarantee the reporting periods will tally so again a certain amount of guesswork (pre enquiry).
Regular monthly dividends of the same amount are not going to act as a trigger for an enquiry.
They are not going to affect the outcome of an IR35 case, they will potentially affect the outcome of an enquiry if the dividends are not properly minuted etc.
