to distinguish the two

[novar]

Do both sentences have the same meaning?
I can't tell the two from each other.
I can't distinguish the two from each other.

Say:
I can't tell them apart.
I can't tell those/the two apart.

 

[Rover_KE]

They are both wrong.

I can't tell one from the other.

I can't distinguish between the two.

What about these two sentences?
The distinguishing mark between the two items seems to me a major point here.
The distinction between the two points seems to me to be an important point here.

Neither of the sentences makes sense to me. Could you please explain what you are trying to say, novar?
