If one of them is closer to the center than the other the one deeper in could theoretically see light from the person who entered later but keep in mind light is spiraling down wards in a way that would likely create extreme distortion and if the black hole has any sort of disk that disk is likely producing enough light to overwhelm the few photons coming from the person falling in.
I imagine you would be looking for a dark spec a single pixel wide obscenely stretched against a background illuminated like a sun (the disk of stuff just outside the event horizon).

I swear, I'm usually more professional than this, but the vivid imagery of the last paragraph elicited only one response from my brain:
"So you're saying there's a chance!"
More seriously though, it is valid to assume that an observer inside the black hole would have some sort of visual field that correlated with the infalling spacetime in all directions? (I. E. The inner observer could "see" photons from the outer observer regardless of the initial entry points in 3D space)
Setting aside all of the other problems with causality and information procurement, wouldn't that make black holes an optimal place from which to observe the rest of the universe?
