The only way I know of is to check the email that was sent to the address associated with the account, if you bought it from the ArenaNet site. If purchased elsewhere, I don’t know. It should not be a problem, though, as serial number is not needed to verify ownership, and your friends have access to both, anyway.

They can submit a question to support, or they can try the reset with one code, and if that fails, then the other.

If they ask support, I’d just say something like “Trying to figure out which code is which account, is this account use the code ending in XXXX or YYYY?”

Just go ahead and contact Support by filing a ticket through the “Ask a Question” tab on that linked page. They will be able to assist you if you tell them you’re providing two codes and one is related to the account in question.

For tips on what information to provide in a ticket — mostly intended for security reasons to establish that you own the account — please read this post and provide as many suggested details as possible to expedite the ticket.
