Not directly, no. The problem is that the mdadm commands report based
on drive/partition names as they are at the time (as that's what's
immediately useful). Unless you have anything to tie those
drive/partition names to a unique identifier for the drive (e.g.
/dev/disk/by-id, /dev/disk/by-uuid) then it's not going to be possible
to map the old drive/partition names to the current ones.
It's worth having a look anyway - see if you've got anything providing
drive serial number (smartctl output, listing of /dev/disk/by-id or
by-uuid). If the drives are different makes/models then the output of
lsscsi or /proc/scsi/scsi would also do.
Cheers,
Robin
