I doubt that ... you just don't know what you're looking out for in their accents. Unless they both have received pronunciation, but unless they speak immaculate English they'll at least have dialectal colloquialisms that give it away. I'm from Bristol but don't have a strong accent, the biggest give away is when I say "where's that to" instead of "where is that". Your friends will do similar, you just mightn't know what it is that they're doing that separates them from each other.
