Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell, without knowing the actual facts,
which we don't know and in many cases are not likely to ever know. We
are talking about differences that are typically on the order of an hour
or less, in areas and eras in which local timekeeping was neither
accurate nor precise, so it's likely a question that doesn't have all
that much meaning.
