Nope.

At least not unless there's either an accurate enough timestamp for you
to use (and enough quiescence in the repository surrounding that time)
to identify the old version uniquely; or unless you have a way of
generating a manifest of the revision numbers for all of the files
composing the old version (eg. if the $Id strings from all files are
compiled into a binary that you have access to, or something similar).
