John K Clark:
No they would not because they wouldn't even know.
You and your exact copy are standing an equal distance
from the center of a symmetrical room....

This reminds me that Max Black suggested there
could be a universe containing nothing
but two indiscernible spheres...

-Max Black, 'The Identity of Indiscernibles',
in 'Mind', 61, (1952);
-C. Cross, 'Max Black on the Identity of
Indiscernibles', in 'Philosophical Quarterly',
45, (1995).

The three bodies argument, arranged in a line
but identical, is a bit vague, given this peculiar
symmetry.
