Yes, they are both OK.

I'd personally use "I may not know which one is Tony"

The second sounds strange, but I assume it to be correct as well. However, it sounds like there are more than one Tony to choose from.

As bhaisahab said, they are both ok. The second one is perfectly natural.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****


(1) We non-teachers are currently allowed to answer questions if

we start with a disclaimer ("Not a teacher") and write in a very

respectful and humble manner.

(2) I found your question most interesting.

(3) I submitted the following sentences to someone who knows

English very well:

(a) I do not know which one is Mona.

(b) I do not know which one Mona is.

(4) That person told me that it is generally agreed that (b) is

the "correct" answer. That is, in noun clauses, the subject and verb

usually follow "regular order." (Yes, there are exceptions -- in

informal language or when the noun clause is very long.)

(5) Please remember, Lisa, that if a non-teacher's opinion differs

from a teacher's opinion, you should always accept the teacher's

opinion as the correct one.
