Can two protons differ in mass?

All external environmental conditions being equal can there be a difference in mass between two protons? I am thinking in terms of small differences in gluon binding energy because of indeterminacy.

Indeterminacy would apply equally to the mass of both particles, because the concomitant of indeterminacy is indistinguishability.
