It isn't a simple yes-or-no answer, even though the OP specified the assemblers to consider and that the platforms and processors were identical. Consider that it's a Pentium processor but that one of the assemblers is set to produce code that will run on an 8086 while another is not. In some instances, simple code would produce identical outputs; in others, it would not.
