Not unlikely.  At several points during "The Three Doctors," the title
characters (the first three Doctors, that is) contacted each other in a
telepathic link.  During these periods, the Doctors presumably shared copies
of their memory among themselves (recall the first Doctor asking his
two later selves to "fill him in on what's happened").

Incidentally, I wish they had a similar contact scene in "The Five
Doctors."  The closest they got to it was when the first three
Doctors were concentrating on breaking Borusa's mind lock on the
fifth Doctor.

BTW, Another "Spearhead from Space"/"Robot" similarity which I noticed --
the Doctor's shock on seeing what he now looks like, and his getting
used to it rather fast!
