Yes and no.

I the two callers are within the same central-office or if the two
CO's are linked (so that they could pass billing/routing info to each
other), then the answer is yes.

If the call is going through different or isolated CO's, then the
answer is no.  This also applies to the question "is there a box
that will tell me the number of the person calling me?".
