Not necessarily in my experience... Murray's tins will always have "Made in U.K." as Bruce stated above, but most Orlick tins will say "Manufactured in the EU". I understand there may have been some overlap, but it is a good indicator as well as the small rectangular Lane Ltd sticker on the bottom (in the US). I have also yet to see a Murray's tin that did not have the warning sticker placed perpendicular across the tin seal (as it is with the Canadian duty sticker in the pic above), where Orlick tins have it running parallel with the seal.

-edit- Here are some links with a ton of good info...
