Visually, you usually couldn't, any more than you can tell
apart U+0050 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P and U+03A1 GREEK CAPITAL
LETTER RHO in a typical, stylistically harmonized font.
Don't ask me to vouch for and explain the vagaries of Uralic
notational practice, which I find alien. ;-) My expectation
would be that practitioners would not use both U+1D18
(a small-cap P, for a "semi-voiced" [p] sound -- not really
a well-defined IPA concept) and U+1D29 (a small-cap RHO,
for voiceless uvular trill, = IPA <U+0280, U+0325>) in
the same transcription, however, as even they would get
confused.
