I would think that if you suspended each chassis on something like a rotisserie, spun it at a good rate of radians/sec, measured mass loadings at the axes of the rotisserie, sorta like balancing a tyre/wheel, you'd be in a position to make some sort of discovery about where the relative centre of mass sits within the chassis... and it'd be fun to watch... especially if one got loose mid-spin hehehe

Answer in ten words or less: yeah, but it'd be unfeasibly complicated and unwieldy. So, no.
