From the same set, sure. If you're dealing with two different seasons of the same show, it may or may not be.
For example, the first season of Mahoromatic requires far more filtering to make it look alright than the second season does (massive cropping and use of ColorYUV to make sure that whites are actually white, and not a really noticeable yellow). And the thing is, those two seasons were produced nearly back-to-back, so either the authoring on the discs was all wrong or GAINAX just decided to update their equipment or something between season 1 and season 2 (which makes a tad more sense, as the quality of the second season is also present for their other post-2002 series).
