Nope. If I declare a type T to be in namespace N and compile it into an assembly A that has version v, culture c and public-key token p, then that type is uniquely identified as [A, v, c, p]N.T. That is, a type [A', v', c', p']N'.T' is equal to [A, v, c, p]N.T iff A = A', v = v', c = c', p = p', N' = N, and T = T'.
