Only very slightly. Most of them involve two-syllable words ending in "-el", where the "l" is doubled in British English but not in American English:

duelling/dueling
cancelling/canceling
travelling/traveling

Also "worshipping/worshiping", where the "p" tends to be doubled in British English, but not in American English.
